Crazy idea

I know that this is something that has been reflected on before, to say the least. Still, in popular music at least, I find that many of my favorite artists have, at least, bouts with madness or off-kilter reasoning and behaviors. Robert Plant's OK now, and that's a good thing; I can think of many other extraordinary musicians who were able to repair themselves. I was listening to Syd Barrett sing "Rats" today courtesy of a playlist generator on my music subscription, and I reflected -- Dang, he was a few stops short of a bus line, but WHAT AN ASTOUNDING TALENT. And a delivery, and a performance.
