From the Paul Williams WEBSITE & SUPPORT FUND :
"Called by many the “father of rock criticism” after founding Crawdaddy Magazine at the age of 17, crucial early champion of Philip K Dick, author of the underground classic Das Energi, confidant of John Lennon, biographer of Bob Dylan and traveling companion to the Grateful Dead, Paul Williams has lived a half dozen remarkable lifetimes, and his work as rock critic, holistic philosopher and avant-garde underground gadfly forms a unique and indispensable link through the past 40 years of pop and rock culture."
ED: I met Paul and his wife only a few times (once for a garden party at Jonathan's Brooklyn apt)and he was a lovely man. I knew about the accident and in fact saw him at least once afterward but I had no idea that he was the victim of early onset Alzheimer's as a result. That really sucks and is one of my own greatest fears. (early, late, I don't care).
