Whats up with Larry Now?
Has his life changed much since the film?
the doc ends with saying medications have evened him out but hes lost his pep?
is he living on the street? in a home?
anyone know?
Funny you ask -- I just found out he died June 15!
I think he was in assisted living from about when the film wrapped.
Yeah I just got en email from one of the Ubins.....
Friends...
We're very saddened to report that rock and roll lost another legend yesterday. Larry 'Wild Man' Fischer passed away yesterday morning at UCLA hospital from heart related complications. Larry lived a tough, hard 66 years of life.
Even though Larry never did reach the pinnacle of fame and fortune he so yearned for, he was successful in inspiring and influencing people from all over the world with his unique brand of music and expression.
Thank you Larry for your friendship, generosity and your music. You were a one-of-a-kind talent with a 'one-of-a-kind mind.' There will NEVER be another one like you. We miss you already.
