Music Can Drive You Sane

Posted by Dave Segal on Wed, May 6, 2009 at 10:36 AM

It’s a couple weeks old, but here’s an interesting article by Ian Grey you may have missed about how music can often ameliorate mental illness. I had a close call with hallucinogen-induced insanity 11 years ago, and listening to Miles Davis’ In a Silent Way, Pharoah Sanders’ Karma, and (it’s hilarious in retrospect) the Monkees helped to bring me back to reality (or what I considered “normality”). Perhaps you can relate to this piece.

Carl Wilson, as in the ex-Beach Boy R.I.P. not the music critic, made a quote about how Smiley Smile (the afterbirth of Smile) was used by nurses to help victims of LSD overdose recover.
