>>From what I knew of the situation, the sex for money

>>I simply stated they were together forever now and
>>hopefully happy there. I wasn't trying to glorify
>>anything...just be discreet and nice. They asked what
>>Layne was like...and in the end, he was a funny,
>>sweet, talented man.
I forgot to add that Demri's first prostitution arrest was in '93. Layne was just completing a world tour and doing Lollapalooza. I'm pretty sure he could pay for his own dope by then.
