Sherman College student and musician/songwriter Bob Meliodon has produced an album "Some Cracks in Time."
The album includes such songs as "The Fellow Within" and "Subluxated State (The Second Law)." Bob wrote, performed, arranged and produced all of the songs on the album and orchestrated them with guitar, bass, and keyboard. Fellow Sherman College student Marc DeFilippo provided the percussion. They call themselves Bob Meliodon and the Chiropractors.
Bob's first album, which he also wrote, sang and produced, was called "Annapolis," in honor of the old naval town which is home to the U.S. Naval Academy. One of the songs on the album is appropriately titled "Academy."
When I graduated from chiropractic college in 1981 and started practice, I heard it all, and very little was positive. “You are a quack; you do not know what a subluxation is; you couldn’t get into a real health care program, so you chose the one that is slightly above a mail-order degree; you have no proof that chiropractic works; Are you really licensed?”, and so much more.

A central challenge in creating our identity is that chiropractic is a method of care, not a technique or procedure. This is an important concept for us to promote. Our patients are treated with lifestyle modification, exercise, nutritional supplements, diet and a whole-body approach to accelerate the natural healing process. We are not simply CMT providers.
The results of a global survey released late last year (2023) unveiled some startling findings among medical and nursing students. The “Clinician of the Future: 2023 Education Edition” surveyed 2,212 students, of which 446 were in the United States, from 91 countries.
