Contrabandwidth has just posted news that Albert Hoffman, the inventor of LSD-25, has died at 102.
Wallowing as I am in six CDs packed with psychedelic gems, it's appropriate to celebrate the man with two sides of what he inadvertently wrought.
On the video, The Yardbirds exploring their mind's eye in "Happening Ten Years Time Ago".

On the audio, the aptly named Freaks of Nature performing "People Let's Freak Out".
Thanks Albert!

Albert Hoffman living to be 102 years old is all the testimonial i need. LSD is good for you!

Physically seen it's completely harmless Molli. ;). And a truly interesting substance. Rest in peace Albert.

Two rather likeable songs, whose lyrics ostensibly express amazement at the newly revealed wondrousness of spiritual existence, a euphemism for the naughty excitement of brain cells experiencing, at best, chemical mayhem. Ah, (as I said to my parents about the 1920s) you had to have been there.
