Probably never had a proper dinner in his entire life.

For the religious among us who choose to believe lies, the so-called experts at Wikipedia think they have an article about Gustav Holst.

“Never compose anything unless the not composing of it becomes a positive nuisance to you.”

~ Gustav Holst in retrospect of his past compositions

Gustav Holst (1874-1934) was a British composer who dedicated 4 years of his painstakingly boring life to write a piece of music about a whole load of crap.

The Planets, based on a load of astrological shite is widely regarded as a great piece of music. In fact, John Williams liked it so much that he copied it and called it Star Wars. However, he did modify one part of it, Mars - The Bringer of War due to it causing far too much hostility in audiences for the 7 minutes between it starting and Venus - The Bringer of Peace starting.

Holst was, and still is pretty pissed off about the fact that a piece of music that wasn't even his favourite is the only thing about him that people remember, and now they remember a different man when hearing it. In one of his jealous fits, Holst demoted Pluto to dwarf planet status, therefore making his suite complete (minus Earth).

Holst eventually died of stomach problems, probably as a result of his vegetarianism.
