Chronic Pain and My Drug, Music

If you have intense chronic pain you have probably already discovered the Miracle Drug (U2), music. without music I would have completely lost it. There are different kinds of course... birds, cats, dogs, running water, the first impact of fresh snow on the side walk, The Beatles. I have been injecting music for a long, long time. After listening to some Stones or Beatles I feel like I can walk through a wall. It does not take it away and there are times when silence is the preferred sound. But silence is a part of music. It is called the "Rest". The most important note in "Born To Run" is the space where there is no sound. If you saw bruce perform it in concert you don't me to tell you about it. You were there. You experienced it.
