I read one of them was a military helicopter crash when he was in the Marines. Don't know about/forgotten details about the other one.

yes. His father was in construction and land development and had to fly over and survey the projects he was working on and crashed in a small plane used by his father's employer.
During the time I knew Artimus he told me that he had to be the one to deal with the insurance and settlement issues concerning his father's death. And Artimus told me he had received a check for several hundred thousand dollars that Artimus had to give to his mother. Artimus described the feeling of holding that check knowing it was the sum value of his father's life and it bothered him greatly.
Artimus told me that this is what he was going through when he had to go into the studio to record Saturday Night Special song. Artimus said he was extremely upset and angry over the loss of his father and the settlement process and then the check in his hands. The next thing he did was go into the studio and record SNS as an angry young man. Artimus said just listen to his snare pops. Hard and snappy. Pissed is how he described it to me.
