Yeah, Don, another artist hung up on the product... Yeah, I think its safe to say that most of the artists who died young had the same problem...

Too bad that we just can't let artist be themselves without the monetary/worship aspect... Once that gets into the equation then the artist is not able to do his or her thing...

I mean, we can all name a lot of folks (artists) who just didn't do well after being, ahhhh, "discovered".... And the scropts, unfortunately, are all to similiar.... Escesses of_____________ to escape the demands put on them...

Hey, artists are people, too... But in this world where folks who have money (but not a clue) put dollar signs on various "products" that artists leave in their wake as if ownin' (haha) these things will make the clueless less clueless (???) it will mess jup a lot of artists...

Yeah, artists are introverts in that when they "create" (think Duchant's definition here) they rather do it by themselves... Then comes the public unvielin' of the product, then comes the worship, the money and the artist wonderin' just how the Hell he or she ended up like this...

I mean, look at Hendrix, or Joplin, or Van Gogh an' the pattern keeps reemergin' and playing itself out over and over and one thing that is a constant, it's demand for "product"... Okay, maybe Van Gogh, might be the exception but his brother was pushing him real hard so even he isn't a given exception...
