I> Yes. He slumped into cocaine addiction, became a street person > in Florida, and sadly, died.
I didn't NJC this because...well, because Jaco's work is so essential to some of Joni's best work. Anyway, I don't really know, but I have read that the "street person" aspect of his final days is a myth. Apparently, Jaco was beaten by a bouncer at a club and died from the injuries. There is disagreement on whether he provoked the conflict or not. Isn't there a biography on Jaco, his life and death? Bryan
