LSD Acid Trip – Never come back?

by | Aug 29, 2010 | Addiction, Weirdness

You hipsters ever been on a LSD trip? You know, drop some acid and and then go to the county fair?  Dudes have told that  it’s “nothing but a good time”

Maybe… My thoughts are taking something that makes you straight up insane for over 8 hours not so fun. Like being in a living haunted house.  In fact a slang term for LSD is crazy

Then there is the idea of  “not coming back” You just go off on that stuff and stay there for the rest of your life. Does it happen? Well they say  it did to Syd Barrett of Pink Floyd. The famous rock and roll acid casualty.

So you go to a LSD party and drop some acid… Then you gotta go to the bathroom… When you go in and the mirror is there,
This is what happens.

Now, don’t that look like fun?

I have always enjoyed “space sounding music… And I am guessing that Pink Floyd was the first to do it.. Or do it right… The first record…Piper at the gates of dawn is really a spacey sounding record… Campy too…

It was recorded at the same time as The Beatles Sgt Peppers lonely hearts club band.  In my “hip opinion” it is a better record.

So the space music? Well listen to it… The opening song Astronomy Domine is just about as spacey as it gets…Then right into Intersteller Overdrive… Come on!?!

I heard Roger Waters say one tome that “nobody invented space music” Well, I dunno… His first guitar player Syd was certainly one of the first right? That guy is kinna a trip…  A tortured genius…. But then Syd Barrett was on a whole other level…

Many people I have talked to over the years are into Pink Floyd.. The later stuff… I try to turn them on to the Barrett recordings but many consider it just too freaking “weird”  It is that…. WAY out… In SPACE….

Give it a listen sometime…With an open mind….
