For centuries, doctors have struggled to define mental illness - how do you diagnose it, how do you treat it, how do you even know what it is? In search of an answer, in the 1970s a Stanford psychologist named David Rosenhan and seven other people - sane, normal, well-adjusted members of society - went undercover into asylums around America to test the legitimacy of psychiatry's labels. Forced to remain inside until they'd 'proven' themselves sane, all eight emerged with alarming diagnoses and even more troubling stories of their treatment. Rosenhan's watershed study broke open the field of psychiatry, closing down institutions and changing mental health diagnosis forever.

Lester Bowie - The Great Pretender (1981) [Reissue 2008] Music

Posted by gribovar at Feb. 23, 2025

Lester Bowie's projects apart from the Art Ensemble of Chicago tread a high wire between challenging improvised music and R&B-pop. This seeming dichotomy purports a universally appealing sound close to selling out, but speaks more to the whimsy and farcical elements Bowie sees in the hypocrisy of life. The Great Pretender is a perfect title for this effort, a mix of funk and humor, gospel and jazz, with no small points of reference to Dizzy Gillespie, early doo wop, Mahalia Jackson, James Brown, and Sun Ra. The lengthy title track modernizes the Buck Ram hit on many levels, as Bowie's sly, ribald, and comedic trumpet playing hits every nerve over a head nodding church hued backbeat, accented by the ooh-ooh vocals of Fontella Bass and David Peaston…

Freddie Mercury - The Great Pretender (1992) Music

Posted by BlondStyle at Dec. 3, 2018

"The Great Pretender" is the U.S. reworking of "The Freddie Mercury Album", which was a posthumous compilation of previously released songs, about two-thirds of which were in the form of new remixes. Although the concept is the same, The Great Pretender replaces about half of the tracks with versions that were not on "The Freddie Mercury Album", resulting in all but one track being new remixes of the old material.
