SPECIAL TIME!

GRAB A STACK OF ROCK With Mike and the Mad Metal Man

Episode 107: Ask Jex Anything! Music and Mental Health

Music and mental health:  what’s the connection?  Quite a lot actually!  But let’s get right to the point.  This episode is “Ask Jex Anything”.  You may have noticed that my Friendly Frenchman Co-host has not been on the show as much as he was during the 2023 summer season.  Jex is happy to be back, at least for now, and to talk about what he’s been up to in the meantime.  Jex will be taking all questions live!

We will also be discussing mental health and music.  Music is essential to the mental health of guys like Jex and I, and we are happy to open up. For the first time, I will discuss a chapter of my story that I have never talked about publicly.  We hope to reduce stigma and to encourage healthy ways of dealing with life…like listening to music.

Because this is Grab A Stack of Rock, we have some music to show.  I have chosen some special albums from my collection to discuss, along two themes:  songs about battles with mental health, and artists with their own battles to fight.

Don’t miss this special live episode.  Ask Jex anything…ANYTHING!  See you this morning in the comments!
