Dancing With Mr. Brownstone: Remembering West Arkeen
On This Date in 1997: Songwriter and musician West Arkeen, a close friend and collaborator to Guns N’ Roses who co-wrote “It’s So Easy” and numerous songs with the band, died of an accidental opiate overdose. West had returned to his home from a hospital intensive care unit where he was being treated for burns over much of his body after his indoor barbecue exploded 11 days before his death. He was 36 years old.

“I used to do a little
But the little wouldn’t do it
So the little got maw an’ mawah”
Sad story on all counts.
