RE: Mental illness and music.... Are they connected?

in #music7 years ago

I think one of the biggest things we can take away from this is that mental illness impacts all walks of life. A lot of us look at famous people and think wow, they have it made, but we don't realize that all of the fame and fortune are not filling the gap that they need. I think you are right as well, there is a lot of pressure on famous musicians to always be "on" and it is hard to maintain that even if you are mentally healthy.

Sort:  

No exactly, the satisfaction for artists isn't (often) the fame n'or fortune. Kurt Cobain for instance only wanted to write songs and make music, not all the hassle arround it...

Sorry, I was saying our impression is that they should be happy because of the fame and fortune, not that is why they do it.

No I got you right :)
