Madness?

When a man sits in a city faraway, as faraway as the other side of the planet, and worries about Woody Guthrie, sings a few songs of his he knows, and also feels he has to read some classic; goes to the nearest bookshop picks up A CONNECTICUT YANKEE IN KING ARTHUR'S COURT and hardly three pages done, he feels he has to write this.

He then connects this to a singer and how he visits his legend Woody in the asylum, much publicized since a few decades, now dying out, mentions it to his colleague, inquiring if he himself isn't mad?

The response is "thank god! At least you know!"

The man wonders, "Is it madness to acknowledge madness?"

What is it about Woody that sparks your interest? And why do you think he was in an "asylum"?
