by the way, I'm shocked at the amount of people who have no idea who he is. I asked a lot of people today, and it was dissapointing.

A drug addled failure of a doctor cum drug addled success of a writer. That about sums it up.

Leary once summed up his trip (life) in one word: "Faust."

G. Gordon Liddy

Now that's someone worthy of remembering. I would suggest reading his biography WILL for those interested.
HS!

never heard of him...

I just googolized him, yep he is supercool IMHO

At the risk of sounding ignorant- what's so cool about Liddy? Wasn't he involved in Watergate?

A Satanists perception of Timothy Leary? Defintely a lot more clear than Timothy Leary's perception of any Satanist.... because he was a loon.

What some people don't understand about LSD, is the fact that it was created to treat people in padded rooms. Doctors found out that it actually made crazy people even worse. So they banned it. I've had my fair share of experiences with LSD, as well as many other psychoactive illegal substances. I don't take a druggie for anything more than a druggie. It clouds thinking and slows your brains ability to process information, even after the drugs have worn off. Drug usage isn't smart, and I consider anyone who is a regular user of drugs to be just as smart as the choice they've made to be a user... including Timothy Leary, who in all of his various ramblings, never said one enlightening thing that I can recall.

Timothy Leary's Dead! Damn, it's been a while since I heard that song! I think it was by The Moody Blues or some other psychadelic progressive rock band.

Because for a neo con, he has style. Besides I'm Canadian, I don't give a shit about Watergate. It was funny that in the Nixon tapes he kept refferring to our Prime Minister at the time as "That asshole Trudeau." lol To which Trudeau responded, quite publicly I might add, "I've been called worse things by better people."

My perception of Timothy Leary is this: A capsule of compacted ashes that floats in orbit around the Earth.

I think he was a very interesting person, very strange. His comparisons between virtual reality and LSD are interesting.

Have you noticed that at times" You're an asshole" but that's why I like to read your posts. Always interesting.

... looks up at wall where framed, autographed picture of Liddy next to his shiny red Corvette with the "H20-Gate" license plate hangs ...

I second that sentiment

I have the same autographed photo over my desk!

Go figure.

I still haven't been informed as too what's so great about Liddy. He's the big right winger on the planet.

Maybe when you grow up and look beyond such simplistic jargon as Right and Left you might understand.

As Reverend Lang suggested, Read his book WILL.

8 Jan XXXIX A.S.

"...One was a man who, having been shot with a 9mm slug that embedded so close to his spine, it was never removed, blew the man who put it there out of a phone booth with all six rounds from a .357 magnum. I relate to people like that." - G. Gordon Liddy, "Will"

Coupling that, his beautiful response to a gaggle of candle-holding hippie protesters, his unique method of conquering his childhood fear of lightning, and his weltanschauung in general, and Liddy is certainly worthy of some Satanic appreciation.

Read the book. And leave the inane duality of "right" versus "left" at the door. This is truly Third Side stuff.

Thank You

I consider myself truly lucky.

I don't know who Tim Leary is...and from some of these responses I'm not sure if I care to find out.

Same here... the name is vagely familiar though.

Maybe he was some kind of athlete?

Dunno. From the looks of things, he was a stoned hippy that received more attention than he has deserved.

Worth forgetting.


Ooo look!... Ferrets!

>>Maybe he was some kind of athlete?

Yeah, in the acid sheet triathalons.

Anyway, my thoughts on Dr. Leary: just another amusing American pop culture icon to me. I like some of the appearences he's had in movies and videos, but I never had any interest in what he had to "say", if anything (one thing about these icons is that you don't always know what they were vs. what others have made them out to be).

What was his response to the hippie protestors?

The post that you were responding to contained a hint as to a way to find out what this fellow said. Perhaps actually reading the responses to your query may illuminate.

The only thing that I know about Dr.? Timothy Leary is that he did the introduction on the Babes In Toyland compilation album, "The Further Adventures of Babes In Toyland".

A good album by the way. A lot of live shit and unreleased tracks!

I have one as well in the secret passage behind my ritual chamber.
Not autographed though.
HL!
HS!

I had not heard of leary before now but I'm glad you brought him to my attention. There seems to be a lot of negative comments about him in this thread but he certainly seems like an interesting character to me.

The man was the self-described "high Priest of the Drug Culture".

He represented a worthless, disgusting, smelly, best-forgotten decade fuelled by drugs and poor hygiene.

Creating an alternative reality is one thing, but using a chemical that turns your brain into pabulum is simply pathetic. It is endemic of a fear to face reality and represents nothing but the weakest, most cowardly elements of low-culture.

This board has been soiled by the mere mention of his name.
