Bowie was a Genius... so were many others

Genatics'

Brings to mind the life story of the famous singer & songwriter 'David Bowie'

Having been born into a family dominated by 'Schizophrenia'

His mother , brother & 3 Aunts spending a great number years in and out of psychiatric hospital's

He confessed to fearing the same diagnosis himself.

However when symptoms began ..he choose instead to pour all of is thoughts and feelings - into Musical Artistry.

Around the same time inventing a separate alterego Major Tom'

In who he would apportion accountability for his struggles - if you like - with psychosis and drug abuse.

Within his lyrics he at many times reflected that 'Major Tom'
Was struggling.. yet remained sane enough I suppose - by standing on the outside of his pseudonym.

Reflecting & ,writing fantastic music while looking from the outside in.

As far as I know , he was never commited to the care of a Mental hospital.

He within the passage of time - conquered his demons.

Well enough I suppose to eventually find an inner peace.

Just goes to prove ..like most things excercuted well.
