I certainly do not doubt the insanity of said musical geniuses. They are crazy about their love-music. Bichet nearly killing a man just to prove that he was confident in his musical ability cannot be overlooked. All the great artists are known to have an unmatched passion for their work. If anything should come in between them then there shall be hell to pay. Oftentimes this is misconceived for being clinically insane.
While some may want to discharge or downgrade the correlation of insanity and talent, they would be sorely mistaken. Abstract minds such as those in the music industry have experienced troubling issues not only feeding the talent but also the insanity. For instance, Biggie (a.k.a. Notorious B.I.G.) rapped about growing up a "fucking screw up", referring to his impoverished, drug-trafficking, hood. He used his personal experience to make it to the big time, but at the peak of it all he was gunned down by the very subject of most of his songs. Okay so perhaps that is not the best example. But how then how do you explain Kurt Cobain? He danced the line between talent and insanity nearly all his life, often mixing the two with the help of his drug addiction. He was known for using LSD and more infamously heroin, which eventually killed him.
History has proven that musical geniuses and geniuses of any kind for that matter are extremely gifted in their art, but also have considerable trouble in other aspects of their life.
