Unfortunately my own lack of importance makes it unimportant what I think 🤔

Thanks, John, for the interesting piece on Hallyday.
As for the flack, I can't think of any publishing writer who could be accused of being unduly modest. Way back in 1959, Mailer put out a collection called "Advertisements For Myself."
As for it being your best, I do miss the off-the-wall style of concise information combined with very funny asides, as found in The Fifth Element #8.
Do you know "The Man On The Train", in which Hallyday co-stars? Almost a perfect movie, we found it even better on the second viewing.
Regarding TW's death, I was told that he used eye drops a lot (dry eye disease is a byproduct of alcoholism, and barbiturates can bring it on as well) and died while dosing himself.
He dropped the little cap of the eye drop bottle down his throat and choked to death. No doubt full of alcohol and drugs, but it seems a pretty easy mistake to make even while sober, given the tendency to try and hold both the bottle and the cap in one hand while tilting the head back, which then causes the mouth to open wide.
