RE: Mental illness and music.... Are they connected?
I am a Jaco devotee!! I think "mental illness" is assuming we are healthy. He and so many musicians have a different view of what is normal and healthy and are simply on a different measuring scale. Arguably they are healthier than all of us, but simply don't function in "our" world very well. Nice post.
Thank you, and I think you made a good point. It is not for nothing that 'they' accelerate in their art. It's a different mindset, way of life and way of looking at things... Thinking about it, the assumption that 'we' are healthy is a good thing to think about......thanks !!
