I doubt it. Sounds like it was written by his publicist.

I saw him in a small indoor amphitheater a few years ago and happened to be sitting eye level and facing him - and the way he gazes while he sings and plays, strikes me as a guy who's the classic 'tortured genius' - trying to be an artist while keeping the demons at bay. It's like he had a really bad acid trip and never got completely over it (that's partially the truth, actually).
My friend next to me kept muttering "Poor Brian" throughout the show, and yes, poor guy has been through the ringer.
He fared better than other mental breakdown casualties like Syd Barrett, Sly Stone or Peter Green. Guess he's a survivor.

I thought the opposite, actually--the struggle to explain what is wrong doesn't sound like the slick copy a publicist would write. But who knows. I wish him only the best, anyway.
