               Much Madness is Divinest Sense

               Much Madness is divinest sense --

                    To a discerning Eye —

                    Much Sense — the starkest Madness —

                    ’Tis the Majority

                    In this, as All, prevail —

                    Assent — and you are sane —

                    Demur--you’re straightway dangerous--

                    And handled with a Chain —

Were the people shown in the video incredible in spite of their madness or because of it?  Do you have to be a little "crazy" to do great things in this life?
