there is a sort of interesting conundrum here.
1) he's schizophrenic. he seems to be so bad that he needs constant care and medication and therapy.
2) he's convinced himself that he has some musical gift. that his mind is functioning on a higher level and that he is actually super talented and that those who don't see or understand or appreciate his "talent", are beneath him. never the less, this is how he copes with the day to day problem of waking up everyday and trying to struggle with dealing with a world he is completely out of touch with.
3) he believes he's going to be famous from his music... and that gives him hope.
4) his music sucks. i would rather listen to my cat being shoved in a blender.
so.. what is the better thing to do? let him delude himself and continue to let him use his "music" as a coping mechanism knowing that the ultimate cost is that it won't happen and he will eventually implode in on himself emotionally and probably hurt himself or others....
or do you continue to try to help him get a grip on reality, get a job etc... knowing that he is really incapable of those things as well?
somewhere in Tacoma, there are psychiatric specialists familiar with his case, praying everyday that he doesn't find a rifle and go to the mall.
