Time will only tell.You must be patient when you're dealing with "the Ego".A healthy ego is mearly a decision making machine.Anything else is imposed.
The artist is aware of this through the content of it's work,as it seems that all action stems from thought.It's like Randy Rhoads getting inducted into the Hall of Fame Tommorrow.He deserves that.Should Randy have partied more?Maybey he would still be in rehab,alive!!!or should Ozzy have cut his hair,tucked in his shirt and stoped talking to demons?
Time will only tell....lol
