Quite fittingly, the first CD made in the United States for commercial release was Bruce Springsteen’s 1984 album, “Born in the U.S.A.” But it wasn’t the first commercially available CD ever. That title belongs to Billy Joel’s “52nd Street,” which was released on CD in Japan in 1982.
Going back to the 70s with songs like “Am I Going Insane (radio)’ and 'Megalomania” by Black Sabbath introduced me to the concept of schizophrenia…other songs, especially from the first album and Master of Reality introduced me to the spirit world…
Diary of a Madman song that came out in the fall of 1981 is about Bipolar… he was diagnosed bipolar in 1982.
Manic depression befriends me
Hear his voice
Sanity now it’s beyond me
There’s no choice
