The other funny factoid about the late Slugman is that Doug's day job was a graphic artist. He toiled for the Georgia Straight at one post it.
Another Straight staffer who left to express himself musically? Bob Geldof. He returned to Great Britain, formed The Boomtown Rats and, thanks to his charitable works, was knighted by Her Majesty.
Who knows what Doug Bennett would have gone on to achieve if he'd just paid more attention to his declining health. He remains a great figure in Vancouver rock annals.
