Owsley Stanley dies at 76; 'Acid King' of the '60s psychedelic era

I might not have cared for his politics, but anybody that manufactures and gives away over a million does of superb-quality LSD is a saint in my book.

I don't think he was jewish... although certainly a lot of 60's icons were.

I do know that he was the grandson of a Kentucky governor though.

I might not have cared for his politics, but anybody that manufactures and gives away over a million does of superb-quality LSD is straight out of the policy books from Tavistock Institute of Human Relations.


Fixed it for you.

I take it you've never tried psychedelics...


LSD was tested by the CIA and such (MK Ultra) for its possibility as a mind control drug... they found it wasn't very useful for their purposes, and in fact could be counter productive.

LSD is, in its own way, a wonder drug. For example, Francis Crick was on LSD when he discovered the shape of the DNA double helix.

I think LSD scared the CIA/gov't/TPTB because they couldn't control it, so it was made illegal and driven underground.

I know all about it, and I have done lot's of it.

I'm just saying that the entire hippie/druggie/free love/psychedelic movement was tavistock inspired. The fucking beatles didn't even write their own music.

QFT. The compound is what it is and I see it as a gift. The lifestyle that was marketed around it is an entirely different story. If anything, it was the actual success story of the CIA.

[hoarder]

Far out thread, man.

[Publico Pro Se]

Had a friend in high school who started to drop acid everyday ... within six months his mental processes were like Swiss cheese. Probably dead now.

And back in the 60's didn't the CIA go around to college campuses and hand out the formula???

"Theodor Adorno (seen here: http://www.nndb.com/people/754/000026676/adorno.gif ) also wrote the entire British invasion: that is, the music of the Rolling Stones, Kinks, the Who, See Emily Play by Pink Floyd, and also Moody Blues' Days of Future Past (Nights in white satin is a modified theme from Swan Lake by Tchaikovsky), the songs for Mamas and the Papas, Doors, Jimi Hendrix, Crosby Stills and Nash, Iron Butterfly (Adorno wrote In a gadda da vida), Cream, Queen (We are the Champions, a modified Hey Jude, and Seaside Rendezvous, a modified Martha my Dear)."

That dude's pretty impressive if he wrote all of the Beatles songs in addition to the Stones, the Who and all of the rest of that... Gimme a break! Do you really believe that? ???

Glad that you know the score about these 4 faggot crypto jew cockroaches, they are not beatles but The Roaches.Back in USSR when I was 16 or so I used to work out quite a bit while listening to Elvis, The Roaches and Rolling Stones. I still have a bit of respect for Elvis and Stones plus a few others like Jerry Lee Lewis but I fuckin hate The Roaches. As soon as I learned English and realized how inane their songs were I lost all the respect for them. Later I learned about the Tavistock connection and almost threw up.

As for acid or any other hallucinogens, it would take a huge amount of money to entice me to do any of this hippie schizophrenia elixir.

I was slipped a baggie of coke laced with LSD and PCP once and it was one of the worst few weeks of my life.
Coke makes one smarter, heroin addicts are "drearily sane" as William Burroughs once said...
Acid is temporary (if you are lucky) psychosis. I`ve never once wanted to expand my mind thru drugs, only sought faster reflexes thru coke and a cure for my terminal insomnia thru dope and benzos. I`ve always been satisfied with the size of my mind and never wanted to improve what is already perfect,hehehehe...My biggest problem is the inability to turn the mind off at night, hence a shitload of downers.

Many would laugh at my puritanical attitude towards acid but I view screwing up one`s mind as an infinitely bigger sin than screwing up one`s veins.
It is the ultimate depravity.

[nunaem]

I agree with Antonio. Hallucinations are a sign of severe mental imbalances, they are not something that should be voluntary provoked. Hallucinations only naturally occur under the worst conditions, starvation, severe dehydration, poisoning, psychosis... that should tell you that they are bad for you.

[Antonio]

Guess what, I`ve smoked about 10000 joints in my life, currently take a few hits from a pipe every day because I can`t sleep at all.
I`ve hated every one of them, hated the spaced-out feeling and being not in complete control. The initial hallucinatory phase of smoking grass lasts for about 30-60 minutes during which I pray that it passes faster and then I get a calm and sane feeling not unlike valium. During my more healthy years when I could sleep on my own, I never touched grass or any drugs, had 11 completely clean years. The only drug that I did recreationally was coke, all the painkillers and downers were caused by genuine pain from shit like a bleeding ulcer and insomnia etc.

I hate the loss of control and I`m famous for behaving impeccably under the influence of any narcotic.
I spoke to a CIA agent once, the old dude is a Vietnam vet, a mason and a Chinese language translator for a few US presidents.
We chatted about politics and he was very optimistic about things finally improving.
He said at the end: " you are not gonna stick a needle in your arm when you get home tonite, the same is about USA, we are gonna pull thru".
I started to rofl and said: " I`m not gonna shoot when I get home because in 15 minutes I`m going to the Starbucks across the street to shoot in the bathroom".
He was speechless for a few moments, so unlike a doper I looked and behaved at the time.

I`ve known a few very smart dudes who ate tons of acid, they are horrified by my heroin story while I`m horrified by their acid insanity.
Heroin/opiates is the choice of political conservatives, believe it or not.

[SLV^GLD]

Thousands of hits of acid (no exaggeration), pounds of mushrooms, grams (that's a lot) of DMT. Mere grams of coke that I hated. Milligrams of methamphetamine that I hated even more. Gram after gram of MDMA. Pounds of nitrous. Pounds of cannabis. Kilograms of dextromethorphan (pure). Barrels of alcohol. Gram upon gram of RC (research chems) such as amt, jwh, 2c-(insert atom here). The list just gets stranger and stranger to those who haven't surrounded themselves in the drug world.

People are wired this way or that. My body refutes amphetamines. It's like pouring gasoline on an already raging wood fire, just pure overdrive with no pleasure to be enjoyed. Rarely has a psychedelic moment proven to be schizophrenic for me, personally.

All that to say that today I am sober and all I have is today. If tomorrow becomes today then today I will be sober. It was a long road to discover that sobriety is a gift and is the ultimate trip. I have no doubts that I couldn't appreciate that without the previous experiences but I have chosen to submit my will and life to the care of my higher power and not to the abyss of my own incomplete mind. Today, my past is no longer a liability but an asset to share with those who have yet to choose sobriety.

Interesting thread! I'm a square who's never tried most drugs including LSD. I'll just stick to coffee, that's strong enough for me thanks. :D

But I am intrigued with the research that's been done with LSD, specifically Dr. Stanislav Grof's in the 60s (hmmm, was it related to Tavistock in some way?). When it became illegal to use, he developed another technique called Holotropic Breathwork that is supposed to create similar experiences as taking LSD. It relies on fast breathing much like Primal Therapy (as developed by Arthur Janov). You can have trippy experiences like re-experiencing being in the womb and being born.

[Santa]

The thing with street acid that I've found over time from the late 60's on
is the purity of the product.
Much of it is unknown chemical garbage. Sort of like playing Russian Roulette.

Mushrooms, on the other hand are difficult to dose properly.

I've had the most transcendental experiences using peyote buttons
and the most cartoon like hallucinations from weed grown at a US gov. test facility.

Slv, I thought you were into drinking beer.

Nothing wrong with experimenting different states as long as one has researched and is informed. Those who sell the stuff to kids are morons and worse. Try reading a book called "Acid Dreams" It chronicles the CIA's involvement in spreading the acid gospel. Of course this ties in perfectly with Dave McGowan's "Laurel Canyon" We are being led in numerous ways no doubt.

If you want to know more about it, John Coleman covers the Tavistock creation of the beatles in his book "The Committee of 300".
That is where I learned about it.

Going off the top of my head, the Beatles were a group of no-name nobodys who couldn't even play their instruments when the program was launched. They were never famous in Europe at all, and were lucky to get a single show at a shitty pub if they agreed to play for free.

The Tavistock institute of Human Relations wrote their entire set list for them, schooled them how to play the instruments just for the songs they were going to play, wrote all their lyrics and worked in conjunction with the conspiring media to bring them to the USA.

No-one knew who they were or anything about them, but by the time they landed on American soil their were girls peeing in their pants and fainting when they saw them. Total media brainwashing.

The lyrics to all of their songs have an ulterior agenda behind them. If you listen closely, you can always find a tidbit about submitting to the government, everythings alright, get high, free love, etc etc etc.

It doesn't take a trained ear to hear it, just an open one.

Just finished the article. It was pretty good, but I take issue with this statement:

"[Allen] Ginsberg claimed to be a poet but no greater rubbish was ever written by anyone who ever aspired to becoming a poet."

Despite pushing drugs and being part of the 60s media circus, Ginsberg was a great poet, and the beatniks started out as a genuine counter-cultural movement that was probably usurped by Tavistock, just like the anti-war movement against Vietnam was originally a genuine grassroots movement which was made up of a large cross-section of society, not just "dirty hippies."

Although Ginsberg's seminal poem "Howl" (http://www.wussu.com/poems/agh.htm) does mention drugs, it also does a great job exposing the pain of being alive in a society that glorifies money and being disconnected from our senses (in the poem it's referred to as "Moloch")(I bolded my favorite lines):


I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked,

dragging themselves through the negro streets at dawn looking for an angry fix,

angelheaded hipsters burning for the ancient heavenly connection to the starry dynamo in the machinery of night,

who poverty and tatters and hollow-eyed and high sat up smoking in the supernatural darkness of cold-water flats floating across the tops of cities contemplating jazz,

who bared their brains to Heaven under the El and saw Mohammedan angels staggering on tenement roofs illuminated,

who passed through universities with radiant eyes hallucinating Arkansas and Blake-light tragedy among the scholars of war,

[...]

What sphinx of cement and aluminium bashed open their skulls and ate up their brains and imagination?

Moloch! Solitude! Filth! Ugliness! Ashcans and unobtainable dollars! Children screaming under the stairways! Boys sobbing in armies! Old men weeping in the parks!

Moloch! Moloch! Nightmare of Moloch! Moloch the loveless! Mental Moloch! Moloch the heavy judger of men!

Moloch the incomprehensible prison! Moloch the crossbone soulless jailhouse and Congress of sorrows! Moloch whose buildings are judgement! Moloch the vast stone of war! Moloch the stunned governments!

Moloch whose mind is pure machinery! Moloch whose blood is running money! Moloch whose fingers are ten armies! Moloch whose breast is a cannibal dynamo! Moloch whose ear is a smoking tomb!

Moloch whose eyes are a thousand blind windows! Moloch whose skyscrapers stand in the long streets like endless Jehovas! Moloch whose factories dream and choke in the fog! Moloch whose smokestacks and antennae crown the cities!

Moloch whose love is endless oil and stone! Moloch whose soul is electricity and banks! Moloch whose poverty is the specter of genius! Moloch whose fate is a cloud of sexless hydrogen! Moloch whose name is the Mind!

Moloch in whom I sit lonely! Moloch in whom I dream angels! Crazy in Moloch! Cocksucker in Moloch! Lacklove and manless in Moloch!

Moloch who entered my soul early! Moloch in whom I am a consciousness without a body! Moloch who frightened me out of my natural ecstasy! Moloch whom I abandon! Wake up in Moloch! Light streaming out of the sky!

Moloch! Moloch! Robot apartments! invisable suburbs! skeleton treasuries! blind capitals! demonic industries! spectral nations! invincible madhouses! granite cocks! monstrous bombs!

They broke their backs lifting Moloch to Heaven! Pavements, trees, radios, tons! lifting the city to Heaven which exists and is everywhere about us!

Visions! omens! hallucinations! miracles! ecstacies! gone down the American river!

Dreams! adorations! illuminations! religions! the whole boatload of sensitive bullshit!

Breakthroughs! over the river! flips and crucifixions! gone down the flood! Highs! Epiphanies! Despairs! Ten years' animal screams and suicides! Minds! New loves! Mad generation! down on the rocks of Time!

Real holy laughter in the river! They saw it all! the wild eyes! the holy yells! They bade farewell! They jumped off the roof! to solitude! waving! carrying flowers! Down to the river! into the street!

Mae Brussell, an excellent conspiracy theory writer wrote an unpublished article called, "From Monterey Pop to Altamont OPERATION CHAOS The CIA's War Against the Sixties Counter-Culture" (http://www.maebrussell.com/Mae%20Brussell%20Articles/Operation%20Chaos.html) which details covert government, CIA and FBI involvement in subverting the hippie movement. Perhaps some of it was engineered by Tavistock, but many young people then really were searching for an alternative to the forces of Ginsberg's Moloch.

********************************************

Family and friends accepted the musicians depressions or accidents as having to do with alcohol, drug usage, or both. Was anything added to their beverages or drugs to cause personality changes and eventual suicides?

Almost every death was shrouded with unanswered questions and mystery.

Persons around the musicians had strange backgrounds and were often suspect.

All of these musicians were at the peak of a creative period and success at the time they were offered LSD. Their personalities altered drastically. Optimism and gratification were replaced with doubt and misery.

Why would young people with so much talent and influence as Phil Ochs, Janis Joplin, Gram Parsons, or Brian Jones wallow in suffering, self doubt, and despondency? They were all loved, doing important contributions to their concerts and compositions, cutting new records, recognized for their talent. It just doesn't make sense.

Jimi Hendrix, Mama Cass Elliott, Steve Perron choking from their vomit? I doubt it!!

Phil Ochs just happened to be touring Africa when a native "robber" jumped after him and cut his throat so that it affected his singing? The most political symbol of protest against the war in Vietnam, songwriter for Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, and many others, is selected from millions of U.S. tourists for assault to his vocal chords. Incredible!!

[...]

The nine years in which the musicians allegedly overdosed, drank themselves to death, drove over cliffs, hung themselves, choked, crashed their motorcycles, went insane, or freaked out without any reasonable explanation, were the same years that the FBI and CIA waged a domestic war against any kind of dissent.

Was Lennie Bruce the first victim? How about Jack Kerouac? Did Bruce pay his dues for comparing United States police to Hitler's Gestapo. Was all the fuss about dirty words only a cover story?

An important part of neutralizing any group is to kill or discredit the leaders.

Monterey Pop set the combined Government agencies in motion.

[...]

By 1968, the FBI's Counterintelligence Program, and the CIA's Operation Chaos, had included among their long list of domestic enemies "Advocates of New Lifestyles," "New Left," "Apostles of Non-Violence and Racial Harmony" and "Restless Youth."

Justification for indexing 300,000 law abiding citizens into files, and wiretapping, bugging, or burglarizing offices was rationalized on the basis that violence was prevalent, the cities were burning.

Now we find out that being "non-violent" and wanting "racial harmony," according to recent Congressional investigations, was also a crime.

[...]

Everything was beautiful until the insanity began.

The CIA got into the business of altering human behavior in 1947.

"Project Paperclip," an arrangement made by CIA Director Allen Dulles and Richard Helms, brought one thousand Nazi specialists and their families to the United States. They were employed for military and civilian institutions.

Some Nazi doctors were brought to our hospitals and colleges to continue further experimentations on the brain.

American and German scientists, working with the CIA, then the military, started developing every possible method of controlling the mind.

Lysergic Acid Diethylmide, LSD, was discovered at the Sandoz Laboratories, Basel, Switzerland, in 1939 by Albert Hoffman. This LSD was pure. No other ingredients were added.

The U.S. Army got interested in LSD for interrogation purposes in 1950. After May, 1956, until 1975, the U.S. Army Intelligence and the U.S. Chemical Corps "experimented with hallucinogenic drugs."

The CIA and Army spent $26,501,446 "testing" LSD, code name EA 1729, and other chemical agents. Contracts went out to forty-eight different institutions for testing. The CIA was part of these projects. They concealed their participation by contracting to various colleges, hospitals, prisons, mental hospitals, and private foundations.

The LSD I will refer to is the same type of LSD that the CIA used because of the similarity of symptoms between their reports and what happened to musicians or hippies after 1967. We shall be speaking of CIA-LSD, not pure LSD.

Government agents and the ability to cause permanent insanity, identical to schizophrenia, without physician or family knowing what happened to the victim.

"No physical examination of the subject is required prior to the administration of LSD. A physician need not be present. Physicians might be called for the hope they would make a diagnosis of mental-breakdown which would be useful in discrediting the individual who was the subject of CIA interest. Richard Helms, CIA Director, argued that administering drugs, including poisonous LSD, might be on individuals who are unwitting as this is the only realistic method of maintaining the capability considering the intended operational use to influence human behavior as the operational targets will certainly be unwitting."

"Senate Report to Study Governmental Operations with Respect to Intelligence Activities"
Book I, page 401, April 1976.

When the first reports came out that the CIA could administer a tasteless substance into the beverage of one of their most responsible co-workers, and drive that man into a mental institution, or cause him to jump out of a window to his death, all existing CIA records were destroyed.

[...]

U.S. agents were able to destroy any persons reputation cause by inducing hysteria or excessive emotional responses, temporary or permanent insanity, suggest or encourage suicide, erase memory, invent double or triple personalities inside one mind, prolong lapses of memory, teach and induce racism and hatred against specific groups, cause subjects to obey instructions on the telephone or in person, hypnotically assure no memory remains of the assignments.

[...]

While pure LSD is usually 160 micrograms, the CIA was issuing 1600 micrograms. Some of their LSD was administered to patients at Tulane University who already had wired electrodes in their brain.

Was being crazy an occupational disease of being a musician? Or does this LSD, tested and described in Army documents, explain how a cultural happening that was taking place in 1967-68 could be halted and altered radically?


Janis used to say that her speed experience was induced by a man. He had been the cause of it. He had brought her lower than she had ever been in her life. Her involvement with the young man started in the spring of '65.

He was a very sharp brain and questionable character, engaged in some rather odd activities. Neither his history or his name was his own. He set up a fraudulent international pharmaceutical company in Canada to obtain drugs.

He was also a methadrine addict. Janis was an exceptionally vulnerable girl. It had taken Janis about seven months from the time she returned from New York to degenerate into a vegetable, an eighty pound spastic speed-freak.

"Buried Alive, Janis Joplin"

III THE ENEMY


Why were Hippies such a threat, from the President on down to local levels, objects for surveillance and disruptions?

Many of the musicians had the potential to become political. There were racial overtones to the black-white sounds, the harmony between people like Janis Joplin, Otis Redding, and Jimi Hendrix. Black music was the impetus that got the Rolling Stones into composing and performing.

The war in Vietnam was escalating. What if they stopped protesting the war in Southeast Asia and turned to expose domestic policies at home with the same energy? One of the Byrds stopped singing at Monterey Pop to question the official Warren Report conclusion that Lee Harvey Oswald was a "lone assassin."

Bob Dylan's "Bringing it All Back Home" album has a picture of Lyndon Johnson on the cover of Time.

By 1966, LBJ had ordered all writers and critics of his Commission Report on the JFK murder to be under surveillance.

That research was hurting him. Rock concerts and Oswald. What next?

[...]

IV THE BATTLEGROUND


July, 1968, the FBI's counterintelligence operations attacked law abiding American individual's and groups.

The stated purpose of these assaults was to disrupt large gatherings, expose and discredit the enemy, and neutralize their selected targets.

Neutralization included killing the leaders,if necessary. Preferably, turn two opposing segments of society against each other to do the dirty work for them.

Remember that among these dangers to the security of the United States were persons with "different lifestyles" and also "apostles of non-violence and racial harmony."[!!!!]

CIA Director Richard Helms warned National Security Advisor Henry Kissinger, Feb. 18, 1969, that their study on "Restless youth" was "extremely sensitive" and "would prove most embarrassing for all concerned if word got out the CIA was involved in domestic matters."

The FBI sent out a list of suggestions on how to achieve their goals. They can all be applied to what happened to musicians, youngsters at folk rock festivals, and hippies along the highway.

Gather information on their immorality. Show them as scurrilous and depraved. Call attention to their habits and living conditions. Explore every possible embarrassment. Send in women and sex, break up marriages. Have members arrested on marijuana charges. Investigate personal conflicts or animosities between them. Send articles to the newspapers showing their depravity. Use narcotics and free sex to entrap. Use misinformation to confuse and disrupt. Get records of their bank accounts. Obtain specimens of handwriting. Provoke target groups into rivalries that may result in death.

"Intelligence Activities and Rights of Americans"
Book II, April 26, 1976
Senate Committee Study with Respect to Intelligence

The IRS admitted that "people who attend rock concert festivals" were listed among targets for investigation by its special staff. Agent Leon Levine said that "ideological groups such as rock festival patrons were to be watched."

A San Diego police officer was penalized for throwing rocks at a concert that injured a 17 year-old girl. She was treated for a fractured nose and facial lacerations.

[...]

Art Linkletter, a television personality, told a Congressional committee investigating drug abuse that the "Beatles were the leading advocates of an acid society." This is an example of turning one hostile group against another.

There is every reason to believe that the LSD that caused Dr. Frank Olson and Diane Linkletter to leap from buildings to their death could be manufactured from the same laboratories. With justified anger, Linkletter became a mouthpiece. Meanwhile, the so-called straight society Linkletter was defending, spent sixteen years and millions of dollars perfecting LSD into an operational weapon.

Los Angeles Police arrested 511 persons attending the Pink Floyd concert. There were no mass arrests at Elton John's performance in the same city, around the same time.

Somebody is selecting their targets, because there is plenty of grass at Elton's concert.

"Peace Pills" were distributed at the Santa Clara Fairgrounds for a folk-rock festival. Youngsters were hospitalized. A strange drug was handed out freely and poured into drinks.

All of those who took the drug were treated, but sent home without any knowledge of the psychological damage.

This pill was blamed for the death of Mrs. Loid Dodd de Lattre, wife of a beatnik priest. Mrs. de Lattre's heart burst under the stimulation of the drug. Under its influence, she tore out her hair and threw herself on the floor.

A man had jumped on the musician's platform and announced they had 4,000 pills to hand out. The pills caused "marked disorientation as to time and space, inability to sustain directed thought, presence of a trance-like state."

This kind of scene was so common that large groups were discouraged from performing in the manner they had before these assaults took place.

The irreplaceable loss of lives and talent has been noticed by persons sensitive to the rock-folk music.

We can't bring them back to life. We might take time to examine their deaths, if only to stop the still going attack upon certain artists and musicians.

Here's another glaring hole in the Illuminatinews.com write up.


The newly-created group and its "lifestyle" swept millions of young Americans into the cult. American youth underwent a radical revolution without ever being aware of it, while the older generation stood by helplessly, unable to identify the source of the crisis, and thus reacting in a maladaptive manner against its manifestation, which were drugs of all types, marijuana, and later Lysergic acid, "LSD," so conveniently provided for them by the Swiss pharmaceutical company, SANDOZ, following the discovery by one of its chemists, Albert Hoffman, how to make synthetic ergotamine, a powerful mind-altering drug. The Committee of 300 financed the project through one of their banks, S. C. Warburg, and the drug was carried to America by the philosopher, Aldous Huxley.

The new "wonder drug" was promptly distributed in "sample" size packages, handed out free of charge on college campuses across the United States and at "rock" concerts, which became the leading vehicle for proliferating the use of drugs. The question that cries out for an answer is, what was the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) doing at the time? There is compelling circumstantial evidence that would appear to indicate that the DEA knew what was going on but was ordered not to take any action.

This author is not credible...The DEA didn't even exist until Nixon created it in 1973... long after LSD or the Beatles were introduced into the US.

However, even though the DEA wasn't around at the time, I wonder what agency was supposed to be in charge that didn't pursue the LSD manufacturing/distribution issue?




LSD was not a "scheduled" (illegal) drug until 1971.

It became illegal in California in October 1966.

Well the important thing to always keep in mind when reading Coleman is this:
He avoids talking about the hebrews.

All the exposure he does in his writing, regarding the committee of 300, the COR, CFR, BBG, FMC, ONI, etc all points to the jew, but Coleman never comes out and says it.

So, as with any write/researcher that I study, if they only mention the tenticles, but never mention the head, I am cautious with them. AFAIC, ommission of information is tantamount to outright lying, if the author knows the whole truth. (ie Alex Jones)

However there are also authors and researchers who do not want to name the perpetrators outright, because of the backlash, so maybe coleman fits in there.

Either way, his writing got me thinking and questioning a lot of things, which led me to more research and digging, and that's a good thing.

I agree. He may have missed a few trees, but he's still describing the forest.

During the early 60's up until around 1968, it was loosely under the jurisdiction of the FDA. There's no doubt though, that LSD was being used experimentally by the CIA on target populations without their knowledge.

This is the Important thing to remember: Musicians do not take drugs then become unhappy and suicidal. They are born unhappy or at the very least overly sensitive and take drugs to medicate them selves because the day to day pain is just too much for them. There are some musicians who just get into it to get laid and party from the get go but they are easily spotted because they have no real talent for writing songs or performing with in kind of emotionality.

I have known lots and lots of musicians and they all "Self Medicate" because they are in pain not the other way around. You have to be overly sensitive and in some degree of pain to have the empathy and to write the music that they do.

Now here is something to remember: The Government and Big Business hated the hippie generation because they were not consumers. They wanted to recycle and live on large communal farms and make their own cloths and grow their own food. It was this reason that hippies had to go.

It was this very same reason that the the smack down was put on Early Punk Rock music until the media and big business could repackage it and sell it to the kids as "New Wave" and make a fortune doing so.

Grunge music was killed for the same reason. They bought all their cloths from thrift stores. They bought their gear from Pawn Shops. Once again Big Business tried to take over and make a profit through designer 400 dollar flannel shirts but Rockers like Kurt Cobain openly rejected all this and spoiled their plans so Grunge had to die and would latter be replaced with the much more commercial "Nu Metal" like Korn and Limp Bizkit.

So far Rap and Hip Hop has been the most successful money maker for them. Hip Hop promotes tons and tons of consumerism and that's why it has been allowed to say around as long as it has.

In Parting: If a new music style does not promote consumerism it will be squashed. If it does it may be allowed to stay around provided that it promotes TPTB's current mindset. And as usual they will use overly sensitive musicians who can be easily manipulated to do their bidding.

No HillBilly. I believe the purpose of the Hippies was to cause rebellion and destabilization. The drug and free love movement tore families apart and nurtured rebellious and anti-establishmentarian thoughts. The HipHop generation is doing the same thing.

So although you may be right about hippies not being consumers, I don't think you're right when you say "Government" didn't like them because of that. They served a purpose for the Global Government, who ushered them on stage..

Creative souls do tend to have a fire burning within them, which at the very least, makes them somewhat uncomfortable and thus prone to seeking solace in substances. Dim the fire.

I think the Hippies were a science experiment that got our of control. I think we have had a lot of social experiments in this country get out of control and no one is the wiser and thinks it's just some kind of natural social evolution.

The thing to remember is: no matter how bad it is if it makes money for TPTB it will probably be around for a long time. If it does not it will run it's very short course and become a footnote in the history books.

That's why they have made sure to state that "Hip Hop" is not a musical movement it is a "Lifestyle" a greedy hedonistic lifestyle that consumes far more than it gives back.
