@redneckroy :

But did more in his 29 years than his critics will do in their whole lives....100 years from now, people will still know his work, but will be baffled if you mention one of his critics' names....

Consider this one, directed pretty much toward your comments:

That was the "genius" of this artist.....

@EddyFree :
Pointing out the tragedy of the young man killing himself through alcohol abuse is "judging"? Shouldn't be pointed out? Lolol, nah, pointing out the fact isn't judgmental at all. His death was a shame, think what could have been..

But as the path of so many celebrities and regular folks that die due to the abuse of substances; needs to be acknowledged and learned from.

Just look at Hank jr.
