Do You Think I’m Insane

Do You Think I’m Insane

Of course, Musk is a little insane.

Not in a bad way though…

I think anyone who has done half of what he has is a little crazy.

And his recent buying of Twitter – OMGoodness – I am here for the fun of it.

People are simply losing their minds about it.

DO YOU THINK I’M INSANE?” This question came from Elon Musk near the very end of a long dinner we shared at a high-end seafood restaurant in Silicon Valley. I’d gotten to the restaurant first and settled down with a gin and tonic, knowing Musk would—as ever—be late.

Writers And Artists Might Be Crazy?

Writers And Artists Might Be Crazy?

Sure, some of us are not really selling anything.

Others in our tribe might be just walking around mumbling in our boxers.

Ok, yes.

Maybe some art borders on crazy.

But what else would you call someone who gets up every day to do the same thing, when nothing they ever do seems to matter all that much?

You would call in Groundhog Day.

In all seriousness, one could ask: For what is art anyway?

Insanity is always a reasonable diagnosis when you’re dealing with writers and artists. Sometimes the only real difference between crazy people and artists is that artists write down what they imagine seeing.
