* Glenn Gould, A Great Pianist
... maybe I'll play like him someday  (well maybe not, but why not try and practice....)
Seems to me all the Great Ones (anyway, all those I respect the most) in any field are somewhat autistic/asperger. What does that tell you...

I've seen these kinds of lists a few times and the ones that always stand out to me, plus a few I've found on my own, are:
Nikola Tesla
Matthew Bellamy
Thomas Jefferson
Albert Einstein
Glenn Gould
Moe Norman
Bill Gates
Should be obvious reasons. Those are the 7 I'd be willing to bet money on.

I don't know that much about Bowie (might come as a surprise, considering my profile), can you explain? |
