Why did Hal Blaine go broke?
So, the part of the movie where Hal Blaine is talking about how he was living in a mansion, and then suddenly he was a security guard in Arizona... he never says WHY, nor does the movie tell us.
Later on (quite a bit after this scene), they talk about how the industry changed and session work dried up. But it doesn't seem like THAT is what happened to him.
Does anybody know any background info on Hal Blaine, that incredible drummer, and why he hit such hard times after his divorce? I can see the wife taking him for half, but it doesn't really tell why he had to go find work as a security guard or why he went bankrupt.
Thanks in advance.
