This is the sad story of a MOTM customer here in Ft. Worth, who died suddenly one day. Although
the article alludes to a prescription drug causing his death, the sad truth was he literally
starved himself to death. In the sense that he never ate any fruits, no salads, no vegetables to
speak of. He drank 24 cans of Dr. Pepper a ∗day∗, ate mostly Snickers, pizza and those goofy
"Power Bars". He was something of a cult hero in North Texas (and in Germany), he had a dual
manual Mellotron (only 30 were made), lots of MS-10s and 20s and a mint PS-3100. We had to sell
all of his gear to pay for the funeral and doctor bills (no health insurance). His weight shot up
due to diabetes, he started smoking and one day it was over.

Kind of long, but well-written.
