[QUOTE="bball, post: 1479014, member: 23752"] The erroneous assumption that they "have it all". Perhaps, to the average guy who doesn't have millions, fame and all the women, it appears he had it all. But clearly, as with so many of these extremely successful, talented and gifted musicians, they do not have it all. Especially in an area so many of us take for granted; namely, mental well being, emotional strength enough to cope with the reality of 'having it all'. Perhaps having it all is NOT all it is cracked up to be. I have often wondered why so many of those that are exceptionally gifted in the arts, are so often tortured with depression, drug addiction. There seems to be a correlation between fame/success and death/addiction in the music world. Is it the trade off, (the crossroads blues reference) your soul for the fame, fortune, and talent? I wouldn't be to quick to judge, at least until I walked a mile in those moccasins; and from the looks of it, there aren't many of us that would fair much better. It would be interesting to know if Tom, at the end, felt the juice was worth the squeeze? [/QUOTE]
