| A tragic tale for sure, Larry. I wonder how many musical "geniuses" have suffered a shortened life or career due to dependency problems (and as a result society has only experienced a brief "touch" of their gifts). Perhaps it's just a bit more "proof" that "madness" and "genius" often go hand-in-hand.
And to think that a great many of the very best of musicians don't reach their peak skills until later in life............... what has been lost? |
