The Real Price of Being Brilliant.

Hello friends and stumblers. Welcome to my first "official" post. I stumbled on to this video today and began to ask myself one question. Can you be a truly brilliant artist without be dramatically inept in some other portion of your genetic make-up? Watch the video and you will see what I mean:



I guess what  I would really like to know is how many of these people are looked over because they are just too far gone. Nathaniel Ayers (the subject of the 2009 film The Soloist) serves as a prime example. Had he not be discovered by Steven M. Lopez, he would still be just another crazy musician living on the streets. 


What are your thoughts?
