I just wonder how it happened. It's very common for people to associate schizophrenia with MPD, and there really isn't much similarity at all between the two conditions.
Hollywood?

You're Never Alone with a Schizophrenic is the fourth solo album by Ian Hunter. The album features members of Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band as the backing band. It is considered by many to be Hunter's best recording.
