MUSIC & RADIO SAVED MY LIFE

A story of living with invisible illness

Pat Franc

I’m currently 54 years old and have been suffering from aggressive and degenerative autoimmune diseases since 1992. I was 22 years old when symptoms of inflammation first appeared overnight in my left knee. I was diagnosed with Psoriatic Arthritis. My life changed overnight, although I did not know that at the time. Full Story

My goal with this site is to increase awareness and understanding of invisible diseases. For details, please see my full mission statement.

Were it not for the inspiration of MUSIC, I don't think I would be here today. Music helped me get through some of my darkest days. It has been critical to my survival. Therefore, every chapter in this BLOG will be musically themed. I hope you enjoy reading and listening.

Chapter 45: You can take it to the Banksy

His art really makes you look at the world through a different lens. What motivated me to share this experience with you is that Banksy is essentially making the invisible visible, which is what this blog is all about. By calling attention to human behaviour, he highlights the insanity of our world. His art is thought-provoking and leaves you pondering over subjects, events, actions, wars, violence, and people at large. But rather than try to define his art any further, I will share some of his works that resonated with me.
