    Robert Anton Wilson gave a great interview about Dr. Leary on YouTube and all the bullshit that people accused him of ratting to the police.

    Wilson puts these pieces of shit in their places.

    Why not listen to Mr Leary!
    While he was on the run from the usa government he ended up in Germany in the early seventies. He was then exiled, or forced to leave Germany, so he headed over to Switzerland- home of LSD- the sandoz pharmaceutical company.
    Wile he was in Switzerland the famous German space rock band- Ash Ra Tempel came over and they produced an album called Seven up featuring Mr Leary on vocals.
    They improvised the whole album under the influence of lsd- legend has it Mr Leary spiked the bands cans of Seven up they were drinking, hence the ablum title.
    Mr Leary sings about some of the theories and ideas in a book he was writing at the time- about the seven levels of conciousness.
    cool story aye.
