[Music] R I P João Gilberto
- Thread starter Boys 9d
- Start date
Not only a master but a pioneer of Bossa Nova who furthermore suffered for his art.....
This from Wiki...
Soon afterward, Gilberto's father, upset by his son's bizarre singing style and refusal to take 'normal' work, had him committed to a mental hospital. In a psychological interview there, Gilberto stared out of the window and remarked "Look at the wind depilating the trees." The psychologist replied "but trees have no hair, João", to which Gilberto responded: "and there are people who have no poetry." He was released after a week.
