I remember the time you, me and Legbone saw him at the Maritime hall and he was about to set himself on fire with his incense hat.
Certainly an original.

That was a great show. He opened with Happy Birthday (which I always thought was a funky song of his) and came out with that candle cake and then the whole thing caught fire. His expression was priceless. But he rolled with it. What an opening.
This wasn't that show, but it's that song...
I could never tell how much of his later stuff was a prank or just a stoned mess. I suspect the latter.
