Society Defines The Outcasts or The Outcasts Define Society?

I was just thinking about the Insane Asylum and how the "combine" works, trying to make the patients more acceptable for society, even if they are just a little bit "off" or a little more radical than the average person.  And while I was thinking about this, I realized that a lot of the time, it is exactly those people that are a little bit "off" who don't conform to society's norms that are sometimes revered by society.  Elvis Presley albums were burned because his movements were too vulgar for a decent society.  Beatles albums were thrown into the streets because John Lennon made a comment regarding religion that was inappropriate for common society. Jimi Hendrix was made famous just because he DID something different from society. He led the free love movement of the late 1960s from the neck of his guitar.  I guss, In order to change society, you can't be part of it.
