I think we can all agree that any type of extremely creative person in any realm is just filled with energy! Probably more than they know what to do with, or where it is supposed to fit in a world that may not understand, because they are not experiencing it. It is no secret that many singers, artists, musicians songwritiers have suffered many bouts (collectively) with depression, anxiety, and really feeling their feelings. In a way, they are the ones to step up to the plate and feel those things... then give them back to us in the form of beautiful music and art to escape with. Like a skill they have learned to just "check out" with, and it is all set up for us to join them when we need them. I think many of us can recall a song, group or musician who has basiclly saved our life through song. (*wink*...anyone?) We all enjoy their creations, and by truely listening and appreciating, we thank them for "going through" their pain or joys and surviving it too. I think all of the discussion about Glenn and the band has evolved into a nice understanding and overall respect for each of their decisions. Yes, we all would have loved to see him in the VH1, and this leaves questions.... but gotta love 'em, for their own ways of handling things, right friends? ...and continue to thank them for simply being there while they were So glad someone brought this up Here's the link with creative people who've suffered bouts of depression and anxiety. www.geocities.com/coverbridge2k/artsci/famous_people_depression.html

Hi ishbell & everyone, Thanks for the link to the list. I have heard before that from something (depression) so very difficult comes brilliance. And by the looks of things/names on this list it is obviously very true. Some of the greatest thinkers, artists, etc. are right there. I am not a Dr., but I play one on TV.....(O.K. that's not true- just wanted to say that!). I do have people close to me who deal with depression & I must say they are SO VERY talented. Well O.K. everyone, this 10min. session is done. That will be $1,000 & please make a follow-up appt. on your way out....... Also, I know, I will not quit my day job!

I don't don't think so, maybe they weren't closest friends in the band, but what Glen's talking about is the first time they met and the beginning...I hardly imagine how they could see each other almost every day for years if their relation would be bad? Especialy cause this band always seemed such a unity to me... "I think it just becomes a matter of respecting the people that you create with," You don't have to be best friends. Tension is a very inspiring and very creative element in this band."
Shannon, 1995 From my point of view Glenn seems like a very private and personal person. If anyone else here has read this short biography it might be easier to see why he's seems so private:"The son of an attourney, Graham grew up in Columbus, Miss., in what he calls "the epitome of the American sitcom family." The durmmer's family was so normal, he says, that "anything abnormal, which was most everything on the outside world, just sort of freaked me out.
Like countless others, Graham was lured into rock & roll by Kiss; within a few years after seeing them on television, he'd acquired a makeshit drum kid (it was covered with linoleum, adn he had to prop the rack toms up with J.C. Penny catalogs) and begun playing Judas Priest and Deep Purple covers with older kids from high school. His fledgling music career, however, was marred by bouts with depression, and in the 10th grade, during a bus trip to Washington with his swim team, he suffered a nervous breakdown. He's still not sure what caused it, but he suspects he may have been dosed with acid by one of his classmates.
I hallucinated for weeks," he says. "Total landscape-change hallucinations. Needless to say, I don't remember much of the trip. When I got back, I hadn't eaten or had anything to drink all week, nor had I bathed. I don't even remember coming back. Next thing I knew, I was in a mental hospital.
The drummer remained hospitalized for 10 weeks. "Once I got out," he says, "I was fine. The psychiatrist said, 'Whatever you do, just don't take acid.' It was a long time before I did. And when I did, I thought, 'Oh, my God, this is what it was.' I think I was destined for a nervous breakdown, with or without a dose." So, based on this and what I know about him....it's my personal opinion that he's a very private person and didn't want to bring up old personal subjects.hey where did you find this at? i've never read it before, good stuff
