Wikipedia weighs in on eccentricity with the list of people widely considered eccentric. Their definition of eccentric is pretty broad. Is a category that can encompass Albert Einstein, Michael Jackson, Salvador Dali and Dennis Rodman as well as Idi Amin and Adolf Hitler really that meaningful? Eccentric is such a quaint word. It doesn’t really capture the essence of someone like GG Allin who, like some people on this list, was probably insane or at least very disturbed. How about a “list of people widely considered insane”?
