From the department of this-may-or-may-not-be-true because I heard it from a rock star, there have been more hit singles of a song called “Crazy” than any other song title.
This from either Will Champion or Chris Martin of Coldplay (couldn’t tell which one) in an interview on NPR on Sunday.
From Patsy Cline through Seal and Gnarls Barkley, decades of music lovers have heard creative artists posit and wonder around ways of being Crazy.
Why is this? I think off-the-charts right brained creative thinkers and doers do everything in the extreme, and they need extreme words to capture what they really feel.
Plus, it just wouldn’t be as interesting if Patsy was Stupid for loving you, or if Seal wasn’t going to survive unless he got a little Wacky.
