He viciously criticizes his friends' talents, and complains about the judgment of his self-described brilliant compositions by the stodgy teachers. He was a talent, but also a prima donna egomaniac for sure. And maybe he had to be to succeed.Mike Lynchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06589354018554341768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6346830305687186778.post-3777435468574520772009-09-14T04:18:17.827-07:002009-09-14T04:18:17.827-07:00Love it!

Even Byron probably sat around thinking about how he wasn't living up to the hype. The Romantic stuff wasn't really that much fun, the fun stuff wasn't really that Romantic ... I'm sorry, were we talking about pictures here?
