i watched a lot of mitch hedberg today. it made me start thinking.

mitch hedberg, janis joplin, bradley nowell, jimi hendrix, jean-michael basquiat, elliott smith, kurt cobain, john belushi, dj am, keith haring, heath ledger, chris farley, river phoenix, dash snow, justin pierce, vincent van gogh, mark rothko, nick drake, jim morrison.

just a few of the many brilliant artists who died too young from drugs, suicide or (possibly) a combination of both. what one must ask, though, is how much of what they created artistically could have been done without the aid of drugs, depression or (possibly) both.
