Blaze Foley was, according to his friend Townes Van Zandt, two different people. He was kind, thoughtful and brilliant, a skilled guitar picker and a fantastic lyricist. He was also very self destructive and sabotaged many of his performances, alcoholic, and alienated most people he knew. He was thrown out of virtually every club wherever he went. He used his first royalty check to buy as much duct tape as he could because he used it for everything, earning the nickname “Duct Tape Messiah”. He was shot to death by the son of a friend at age 39.
