The thin line between genius and weirdo

Back in 1969, my older brother was a senior in high school and I was in eight grade. Much to the chagrin of my mother, my brother became a huge fan of Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention. He played the album "We're Only in it For the Money" constantly. As a boy of 14 I remember thinking that those were the weirdest sounds I ever heard. Now, of course, the late Frank Zappa is considered a creative genius. I guess that's just the way it is. From Leonardo da Vinci to Elon Musk, creative people have always seemed a little weird.
