This blog is about the 'psychedelic' drugs that Gerry talked about in the lecture.I'd be interested to see how the music,art and literature of the 60s would have been without the introduction of 'mind-altering'drugs.There were many pioneers of the 60s but it seemed like creativity really took off when the mind was opened to new experiences.Here is a list of really great albums from that period and some newer ones which have soaked up the influence.
And can I add that although some really great music came out of that period,for every great visionary there were some who went into that mind trip and came out as casualties of the acid scene-ie:Syd Barrat,Peter Green,Rocky Ericsson and Arthur Lee.
