Well, their intelligence is placed in a different area of the brain, the creative side, right? I guess. You know, it's interesting about the 50s, 60s. Back then, very few people were getting college educated. It was more of a blue collar force than it is today, being a white collar force. So the way they communicate and they act is kind of indigenous to the time. So I bet you there's a lot of people back then that you would consider not intelligent, but yet they still had a lot up there. They had a lot of marbles. They were just placed in different areas of the brain. Well, of course they had to make their mark in the best way they can. They live in segregated times. Nobody really wants them other than what their skill to do, right? The segregation is heavy. Jim Crow is nervous. They can't use water fountains and certain things like that. So they got to make their mark. And so of course, right? And they do it to where it counts, right? They're playing instruments and exhibiting talent. Otherwise no one's paying attention to them otherwise, right? They could be anybody else. They could be shooting dice around the corner, getting in the trouble, anything like that. And it shows. A lot of times you see how they end up, right? James Brown was in it, always in and out of court. Joe Tex, same thing. He had a beef of Joe Tex. Joe Tex is stupid and shooting off guns, right? Otis Redding getting killed in plane crashes. I mean, they have real stuff happen to them when they're not on stage.
