1978: At the New Court House in Toronto, the judge sentences Keith to a one-year probation, continue his heroin addiction treatment and also to hold a benefit performance for the Canadian National Institute for the Blind within 6 months, which was inspired by the presence at the trial of Rita Bédard, a blind teenage fan from Montreal.

It gives me a chance to carry on with what I’ve been doing for the past 18 months, which is kicking the habit, etc. I don’t think it was Canada’s fault or that it had anything to do with it.
