Too true, sadly the whole rock n roll mythology tends to overexaggerate the plight of such geniuses (and I would certainly class Bill as a genius - so prodigiously talented for one so young), when in fact the naked truth is often simply that their highly creative and artistic minds are simply incapable of dealing with the stress of fame and the negativity the 'industry' often harbours for young musicians.
As far as I'm concerned The Coral are certainly one of the greatest bands of the last decade and its either a shame (or a blessed relief) that they havn't reeived much of the acclaim they deserve. Still, while people were focussing on T'Arctic Monkeys the Coral were churning out albums of delicately beautiful folk rock (even if the consistency waned on Invasion & Roots). Local heroes and a national treasure. Ture heir's to Michael Head & Lee Maver's legacy!
