I don't know if Leonard Cohen counts as "tortured", but he is supposedly quite reclusive and much of his lyric content is self-effacing and lonely and sad. Def. genious anyway.

edit: I meant self-deprecating.

Yes. A real genius, offered his best and when he thought that he no longer had it in him, he just stopped. I have lots of respect for that, a lot of artists flog a dead horse.

kurt cobain, really? he wrote "edgy" pop/rock songs. are we putting him in the same category as leonardo da vinci here? good example of a true genius, and somehow cobain seems out of that league...

This bitch seriously can't get over being bullied at school. If she's not an actual tortured genius, she at least pretends to be.
