I didn't realize that knowing someone was required to criticize their actions. That is a completely inane comment. Richards is the one that made the comment about snorting his Da with some blow. And it is worthy of criticism.

As to him being one of the best blues guitarists alive....another inane comment. He is certainly a competent blues guitarist, but nothing special. The list of others that are much better is too long to write. True blues affondicio's know who they are.

But, I want to point out that his music (which is mediocre, IMO) has nothing to do with his actions. Knowing Spaw's background, I understand his anger. We make heroes out of people that abuse themselves, to the point of ridiculousness. But we have real heroes out there (such as Spawzer) for whom just staying alive is a heroic task, nevermind all the great things they do with all the challenges in their lives.
