Mark Linkous, the force behind Sparklehorse, is an interesting individual to me. His own personal struggles are what have especially caught my attention concerning him and Sparklehorse.
Instead of me just spouting whatevers that I have stumbled across… Google him, and Sparklehorse for more about them.

Artists who struggle may find Folktown Counseling located in the Ballard/Seattle area helpful: “In addition to working with the general community, we specialize in counseling professional artists. We are familiar with the many challenges creative people face (touring, dual vocations, highs and lows of artistic experience), and enjoy partnering with artists to help them stay balanced and focused.”
