"Becoming"? He didn't die yesterday.
The fact is people romanticise over dead musicians/actors/actresses/whatever, it doesn't denote the guys talent. He was a fantastic songwriter who should have gotten the recognition he now getting when he was alive, which was one of the main contributors to his death, I believe. Although saying this, he is hardly a household name - your mum (mom) doesn't know who Elliott Smith is. You're safe for now.
