Do Jazz musicians have problems in their lives? Can somebody please answer me please, because of the excitement they have with they are playing the music or my. I don't know why I always think upright bass players like sex a lot they have a different way of enjoying the music. I wonder if they eat after playing music or do they just go to bed and sleep in the dream world, jazz music is like weed I get high when I listen then I imagine the musicians playing it.

From what I can tell after getting my associates in jazz piano, most of the jazz musicians I know are pretty normal people. Of course they like the music, that's why they put so much time and effort into it, but they're people just like everyone else lol.
