    After all the good musicians were sedated the only music left is Pat Boone…who is boring.

    My grandfather was born in 1915, is still living at 97 and doesn’t look as old as Pat Boone who is 78.

    I have a friend that won’t give her son the drugs that the teachers “Suggest” that he take, she believes that she won’t change who her son is just because the teacher can’t and doesn’t have the skills and the time to handle them.

    Miles Davis. Best selling jazz album of all time from 1959: Kind of Blue. Astonishing wonderful. Influential across the musical spectrum. Also playing were Bill Evans on piano as well as John Coltrane on tenor sax and Cannonball Adderley on alto.

    This was considered a controversial strip at the time of its publication. Personally, I wish someone would have given Paul McCartney drugs for ADD so that he couldn’t have been part of that pro-communist band that undermined Western culture and society.

    Proper medication use for ADD doesn’t stifle creativity (I take one for severe adult ADHD). Parents and teachers need to let kids be kids and explore their own interests. Plus the potential side effects of such medications can be far worse than what’s supposedly being treated.

    While it is true having ADD or ADHD comes with its advantage, taking meds for it doesn’t stifle these advantages. In fact, eliminating all symptoms is impossible. As someone who has ADHD, I speak from experience when I say, taking medication does help me and does not take away my creativity or my ability to hyper focus on things I enjoy doing. Without my medication school would be horrible for me. Back before we understood this stuff, people like me were written off as just bad students. Other mental disorders or mental deviations have similar stories. However, I appreciate the point that we shouldn’t treat all mental “disorders” as diseases to be wiped out. For example, autism, which, thanks to Autism Speaks, is viewed as something entirely different from what it really is. Of course, that’s a whole other rabbit whole which I’m not going to dig into right now.

    Not hard to imagine. So many considered gifted or genius could never have reached that status without being allowed the space to be creative.
