[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I liked it too. Wow I really felt like his first wife was the love of his life. What a lovely person she is.  The depth and the sweetness of their connection reminded me of my thirty year marriage. That break up was profoundly sad and it was likely his alcohol use that fueled it. As she said, she could have and did adapt to a significant amount of struggle related to his white hot fame  (which she greatly contributed to) and the complexity of their merging work and their marriage as she managed him and the band for years and it obviously was complicated and  took a toll. He needed her and then resented her, a common dynamic. But he was years away from facing his destructive drinking and she coukd not deal with it and the effects on her son. It seemed very sad.

Agreed. She is amazing, and I can't believe how gracious she is in her time with the documentary and her generous assessment of their time together. It's interesting that they only start addressing his alcoholism toward the end of Part 1, but you could certainly pick up hints along the way. His appearance vacillated wildly between looking pretty decent and looking bloated and sick.  [/quote]
