The great James Taylor actually did some time in Crazytown
when he was young. He would later view his nine-month stay at
Belmont’s McLean Hospital as “a lifesaver … like a pardon or like a
reprieve.” As for his mental health struggles, Taylor thinks of them as
innate, saying: “It’s an inseparable part of my personality that I have
these feelings.” A number of his songs are written about his time under psychiatric care.
