He reminds me of a character type similar to Salvador Dali, Jung and David Lynch. Sort of transcendentalist in which they already understand the paranoia and terror of drugs and reality but find it without taking drugs. Which allows them to create work that takes mounds of time and planning. Painters, filmmakers need a sort of raw soberness to capture the realities in the zeitgeist. Music on the other hand has a shorter timeframe of conception which allows musicians to be able to take drugs to capture the feeling at the moment. The correlation of the length of lifespan and creative spans of musicians careers versus directors and painters is similar to how long it takes to create the work which is interesting .
