Brownsfan, are you undead or that old?
Once one drug-abusing artist somehow figure out that Beethoven is still alive and went to look for him with backpack and certainly pouch of 'medicine'.
In one of the caves after few or several days of travels(or trips) he found a man sitting in front of his piano deleting all his sheet music with eraser on the stand and asked him:
--Who are you?
--I'm L.V.Beethoven.
--And what are you doing?
--I'm decomposing!
