Who’ll love a lad insane?
One of the main reasons I decided to blog on Bowie was not so much just Bowie himself, but the rather curious world he created around him. From pretty much the beginning, he just tended to, whether he meant to or not, attract the oddities. Some became rather famous, some remained rather obscure. This guy never became famous that I’m aware of. In fact, I doubt he ever left the mental hospital:
Kinda makes me wonder why this guy and I have one thing in common? I gotta admit tho, he recites Aladdin Sane

That is such a devastating disease.
It’s heartbreaking.
Yes it is. I majored in abnormal psychology for a while in college, I couldn’t take the intensity of it and switched to astronmy for a while. I couldn’t take all the math of that tho. However, I have always been drawn to schizophrenia in an observational way because it is so enigmatic. Schizophrenics live in a world that doesn’t exist. It’s as real to them as ours is to us. It’s so odd dealing with them. That said, this guy has other issues besides schizophrenia. I’m guessin cerebral palsy or MD by the way he moves. But, in true schizophrenic fashion, although he can’t function at a normal level in day to day life, what he wants to know, he knows very well.
Wow. Heartbreaking indeed.
