Wonderful link. I'll use it to research an old Popular Science article on Acid, a first person singular sort of thing (which was the last thing PS ever published of that guy, let me tell you). Interesting to see Baba Rum Raisin in his pre-guru phase. Truth to tell, I've got a copy of "Seed", with the cards inside in constant use. Makes for lovely altar totchkes. Even managed to bump into M. RamDass on two auspicious occasions.
I'd take "Hilarius" more akin to Stanislav Grof than Tiny Dr. Tim. Grof's still in the biz (sort of), but now gets the results he desires via certain varieties of breathing exercises. And, of course, he's at the 'Scope every Friday night with that Primal Scream Choral thing of his. Things get kinda rowdy a little before last call, if you catch my drift.
