A written history of Bobby Jameson and his search through the past.
Working my way back through the jungle of drug addiction and booze. My family life as a kid was the breeding ground for addicts. No self worth, no help, and one chance to get out alive. Music was the horse I rode out on...and the music business was the horse I rode into hell. Pronounced dead twice from drug over doses, I lived to tell how the pursuit of fame is as deadly as any narcotic I have ever used.

SPECIAL INSERT POST..from Oct 27, 2011 by McClaughry's Blog
This is a post which relates directly to things I've written on my blog about Camarillo State Hospital and my experience there in the 70's...click on Camarillo State Hospital in red.
I leave reading this in fear, and deep terror; yet, I have only driven by Camarillo State Hospital. I could feel the evil then, back in the 60's....as I passed. The evil and lies .. . and the atrocities performed on our fellow men sickens me to my core. I so wonder about who we are...
Oh my God!! Reading this was so painful...it brought back so many memories...long hidden in my memory bank. I spend 6 months in the Montana State Mental Hospital (Warm Springs) and witnessed everything I just read. My biggest fear was shock therapy. I saw patients coming out of shock treatment foaming at the mouth and never ever being like they were before. I was in there for depression but never expected to see the things I saw. They really do try to induce psychosis with medication. It was an experience from HELL. I could had been released in 30 days....but I told the truth to the Psychiatricts & Pshychologists and they said I was "delusional". So, I had to revert to lying..to make myself sound more "sane" to get released. I can't tell you how many of the things in this article were so true and "hit the nail on the head". They are memories I have tried to repress or think about at all. The drugs are horrendous..intolerable. An experience beyond explanation. Turns out, the doctors that treated me were actually consultants for the book "One Flew Over the Cookoos Nest". Dr. Xantopolis and Dr Punsalan. One was from Greece and the other from the Philipines....putting in their time to get licensed to practice in the USA. I am so glad you got out...thanks to Troy...when you did. My sister thought I needed to be there and wouldn't try to get me released. It was a nightmare to say the least.
