Leibowitz is obviously a brilliant artist, but a bit of a flake. But I guess the two have never been independent of each other.
Look at Johnny Fontaine and Anthony Corleone....aritsts and flakes both.
"Io sono stanco, sono imbigliato, and I wan't everyone here to know, there ain't gonna be no trouble from me..Don Corleone..Cicc' a port!"
"I stood in the courtroom like a fool."
"I am Constanza: Lord of the idiots."
