All the more reason to stop romanticising this guy's musical accomplishments
as a means of appeasing our shock and horror at what a total waste of human
existance Elliott Smith was as a person. No one mentions his cowardly exit.
Great tunes or not, the guy was a loser. And by taking his life he fulfills
his career long ambition to prove himself right as a tortured artist. Alas,
he'll live on as a martyr right next to Drake and Cobain. At least he'll be
able to teach Cobain a thing or two in hell about good songwriting.
Call me heartless, but a heroin addict is not a role model...in any
profession.
