I'm shocked.

First, the article called him "Robbie Robertson, the guitarist of the Band" - he was a lot more than the guitarist. He wrote all their songs!

Second, I wonder if he was under the influence of a lot of meds (due to his illness) to give her a life estate. Didn't he and his lawyer think this through?
