I took some Tylenol PM last night. I was playing my heart out on the guitar.. I played some of my favorite covers.. Paul Simon, Pink Floyd, The Beatles. Tossed in a few of my originals… I may play a little picnic gig thing in May.

You know, I think it sounded better because I was getting a little woozy from the “PM” part of the Tylenol. Or maybe it was in my head. In any case:

DO mild altering drugs enhance musical creativity?
Do they make you play better? You know there are tons of musicians out there that think so. And some of the best records in history were made while “under the influence.” Or that’s what is said in musician drug circles.

Some Bands on Drugs:

  • Beatles
  • The Who
  • Pink Floyd
  • David Bowie
  • The Doors
  • Greatful Dead
  • Rolling Stones
  • Jefferson Airplane
  • Led Zeppelin
  • ETC..etc..etc

But drugs have a way of telling lies. Maybe these people were talented and creative rather they were on drugs or not. Perhaps creativity is a giftDrugs are just taking the credit. What do you think?

John Lennon said he did over 1000 acid trips… That’s like being crazy every day for over 3 years.. Isn’t that cool?

Lucy In the Sky With Diamonds = LSD


The rocking horse people eat marshmallow pies.
That’s one of the coolest lyrics around huh? Sounds like Johnny was trippin!

Oh he came up with some silly story about his kid coming home with a drawing of “Lucy” in the sky with diamonds… I don’t buy it… He MEANT to do that…. That’s the creative side of acid shining huh?

Now,without the drugs,
would the Beatles have come up with such great songs? Penny Lane, Strawberry Fields, The Fool on the Hill?
Drug music huh?

Hmmm? I think that one of the 2 times I tried it as a teenager…(Believing in acid creativity) made me crazy for life!

Satanic Proctor and Gamble

Did Protor and Gamble make a deal with the Devil?

Devil worship toothpaste

It’s the only reason that they got so successful! It was all Satan’s doing huh? The scripture below describes their satanic allegiance displayed in the old logo. It’s all documented.

Revelation 12:1, “And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars.”

It’s in the bible folks. Just DONT buy that quality baby shampoo… You don’t want a permanent vacation home at the Lake of Fire.. Now do ya?

Now how could something that works so good be so evil?

There is even an experiment filmed about it:
