Both Abel, from Norway, and the French mathematician, Galois, died early on, about 28 each. They can be blamed for the development of "modern algebra". Would the four color problem and the last theorem of Fermat have been proved decades earlier had they lived longer? Maybe, who knows. What is certain is that the techniques that made solving them possible came from their work.

now that i live (literally) where the blues was born? i hear his music differently... the actual crossroads (of satanic gifts) is only a few miles up the hi-way that i live one block off of
Hey Joe. a couple others.. they are definitely right from the MS Delta
what amazes is how far the blues had to "go" for Jimi to learn them in Seattle, and Clapton and "the Jagger" and Led Zep to learn them "across the pond".

Every "artist" I ever knew that was successful, worked really really hard, many more hours than any 40 hour per week laborer at his occupation.
Musicians , due to over indulgence in the work they can't not do, often destroy their health at a very young age and end up trying to maintain the pace of life they have learned and their sanity via ingesting "stuff", which then speeds the natural progresses of life to its end too early.

I believe Kurt Cobain died at 28 as well...I can still remember hearing Nirvana "Smells like teen spirit" for the first time and just thinking WOW!!!

Several, IMAKEMONEY, from the early days of the Outlaw music movement in Austin, Billie Holliday's piano player, Jerome, in Alabama, to some that weren't musical.....I was characatured as superhero in a successful painter's cartoon strip....Peter the Hero was a friend before he was a Peter the Hero.....
And there are those that aren't generally thought of as artist by the general public. It's harder to know bout them being artist, because you almost must know their area as well as them sometimes to even know that what they do is art. But success comes to those that work damned hard at it, just like for the others.

yeah, the roots are still there, but that's about it. they even have a song about mean ole boll weevil...
you kinda hafta leessen to the whole album to recognise 'em...
IMO? the underlying theme to the blues was/is don't take life too seriously cuz nobody gets out alive...
the second video there is pretty whacked. i'm surprised it hasn't been removed for being in bad taste.
