Girls, Guitars, Guns, Gasoline and God: Country Music & Neurodiversity
I have finally polished the playlist that kept me calm during four months of insomnia and hyperactivity. We are on the down slope now.
The first thing to mention about musicians but also other creative artists is that they all struggle with something. You need something to say and happiness is dull. The last few months have made me wonder whether any of them are not neurodivergent. Many of the people mentioned in this article have spoken about neurodiversity and mental health either in interviews or in their lyrics. Another benefit of music therefore is as a reassurance. You are not alone. You are not weird. And if you are, you are in exquisite company. This article is about this playlist, and many other things indeed.
