Ahead of His Time: Timothy Leary and the psychedelic culture of the 1960s

Key Words

"Ralph? The time has come, to go out of your mind. Are you ready, Ralph? Are you ready to die and be reborn? First you must be in a state of grace. First, you must examine yourself in this mirror of confession. What do you see there? Your personality: all your goals, and your fears, your little ambitions... the chess game of your life. You have to check that Ralph, you can't take that on the trip with you. And then that other side of you Ralph, that dark unconscious, all those animal impulses which you hide and keep down below. All this baggage too must be checked. You can't take that on the billion year voyage to God." - Timothy Leary, from the album: "Turn On, Tune In, Drop Out"

Music: A simple five letter word. One that holds so much importance in our society. Many people state that without music they would be lost. I am one of those people.

To me, music is not just an activity, it is a way of life. Music is my life.

Without it, in my opinion, the world would be boring. It is a way for the people of the world to share their creativity. Just like painting, drawing, or writing, music is an art. An art that we all use on a daily basis.
