The references to Pink Floyd and LSD make me think of the tragic plight of Syd Barrett, those who experimented and weren't adversely affected definitely have stories to tell, but any further experimentation would be ill advised. Now that I've thrown my usual monkeywrench into the thread, carry on. :-O

True. Very sad story, a superb musician. But he seemed to have made a conscious decision to eschew fame and the crazy lifestyle....tomes have been written about him, asking the usual 'schizophrenia or drugs or both'-type questions, but ultimately he lived a quiet life painting and I hope he was content. A lot of artistic geniuses end badly, very few become wealthy; Barrett was lucky, royalties ensured care and comfort for the rest of his life, he did what he wanted to do and stayed out of the limelight. Maybe his was not such a sad story after all, when you consider the number of musicians from the era who succumbed to excesses. (At least he was spared the sordid court cases involving other Pink Floyd members and unpaid royalties to the kids who sang on 'The Wall', or to the woman who sang on 'Dark Side...'.)
But where was I....you're right....yes folks, if you want Psychedelia, play with the colours and binoculars, eat nothing that you wouldn't give to your granny
