Here's another quote about Dennis from the Return of the Native article in Word Magazine from two years ago:

"Why do people stay with people? ‘Cos they love them, I guess. And I loved him for a while. he was very charismatic, great looking, very charming, very cute -- if you can call a guy with a beard and voice like Satan’cute’. He used to draw people into his life, strangers off planes and off the streets, and they’d become his best friends. I think I mothered him, to be honest. He used to go off and I wouldn’t see him for days, and days, and then he’d come back and I’d mother him and get him all nice and sober and then he’d go off and go crazy again. It’s one of those things. Opposites attract.”

In that same 1984 Rolling Stone magazine, there's an article about the last years of Dennis's life. It's a pretty scary article. Here's a quote from Chris in the article:

"It was probably the experience of a lifetime. Dennis was such a character. Half of him was like a little boy, and the other half was insane. A really split personality."

Here is another quote from a friend, Chris Clark, from the article:

"Whatever he did, he did in excess."

Another quote from his manager:

"Dennis was a sex fiend, plain and simple. The man used to think more with his sex organs than with his brain."

Thanks Mary Anne you've saved me a job!

I suppose it is the attraction of opposites. No wonder she eventually got fed up of him! I think I would have lasted about five seconds with a man like that! Or should that be a man like that wouldn't last five seconds with me!
