What is the difference between genius and madness?

What do you think? When thinking about this question for work I immediately thought of David Helfgott; a brilliant musician driven mad by his own genius. I found watching these clips from the movie Shine quite emotional.

And then a few days ago I found out David Helfgott is actually coming to Melbourne in August. So Laurence and I have booked! I love it when that happens, I mean I haven't thought about that movie in years. Have a quick watch!

Along a similar vein, if you haven't seen a clip of Susan Boyle in 'Britain's Got Talent' you totally have to watch it now. Pretty inspirational!
