Music, in fact, is full of artists whose lives on the outside of Normal gave them the time alone they needed to pursue their passion, which, as Gleick notes, “doesn't lend itself to easy communication,” further reinforcing their isolation. Bach was a crank, Brian Wilson (of the Beach Boys) was an abused child hiding in Four Freshman harmonies, and Prince was a shy, quiet kid practicing endlessly on guitar. In fact, scenes in the video for his song “Musicology” depicts those early days

The only thing I think this guy fails to point out is that Bryan and Prince were lyricists, too. Do writers live in constant isolation? After all, they have to write about the human experience.
