The good die young however, in art, this can actually benefit your career.
Dying young often gives people a saintly status one they might not have earned had they lived longer. Allow me to Varnish you with a few couple examples . (IMO)
John Lennon .Obviously, The Beatles were a huge band, and Lennon’s songwriting was a big part of that (though McCartney was slightly better). However, as a person, he was kind of a hypocrite and a champagne socialist who would likely be insufferable if he were still around.
Bill Hicks. A fantastic comedian, though not everything holds up today. He was well on his way to becoming an Alex Jones type figure and would likely be a conspiracy nut if he were still around.
Who do you think reputation was somewhat enhanced or saved by early death ?
