Wow! Great painting, Bob! Ha, ha - could've just as easily have missed the, "overeating" part! My mind immediately filled in the word from the original quote, "killing."

I remember seeing your version of the Kid as if other famous people were him!  If I remember correctly, one of them was a Beatle!

I love your book on Billy which  I read some years ago, but my library no longer has a circulating copy and they keep it under lock and key.  I check it whenever possible.  Would it be possible to use some of these 'famous people Billys" in your blog?  Some of them were Raaadd!
