Jimi Hendrix and the fighter pilot

You begin to write about something and go somewhere else.It's called 'Plot drift',I believe.
I was just ruminating about the effects of music.I don't know if it has a therapeutic effect or not,but I find it very soothing.It steadies my nerves and improves my mood,which is morbid most of the times.
I don't know why Jimi Hendrix killed himself.His songs are so variegated and colourful.I am sure they came out of his brilliant mind.Are brilliant minds restless?Did he get bored after achieving so much in such a short time?Anyway,we lost a few hundred songs due to his impatience.Look at the output of other restless souls like Bob Dylan,Beatles etc.How poor our lives would be without all of them.
The driver of the bus which we travel in everyday is impatient as well.I heard that he has been a lorry driver in the not too recent past.He is super confident and drives as if he is on a 2-wheeler.He makes narrow turns and overtakes everything in his way.He should have been a fighter pilot.
