definately lost some weight, and looks healthier than for example in the 2008 pnc show, the ernie block automobile guy performance, or during the november making of the behind the scenes christmas album interview clips. seems is at a relaxed state of mind and feeling alright. but seems to me that it like mentioned in his last howard stern may 17 apperance it still goes back and forth with drinking. but speculation if he still drinks alcohol , has a glass of white wine in front of him... i think he lost the abuse and substance issuses and is all in all at happy. like in his book said, I thin Doug Grean is a true and honest friend.someone who was there for him and hepled him a lot in recovery.the whole studio as a place of refugee, leaving troubled places and creating music. i which he definately deserved after the fate of his brother, the divorce, the long touring process.... looking forward to the solo shows...
