[23:36:14] <exec> 08└─This was at UC Santa Cruz when I was 21, in 1985. Shrooms have been growing wild all over the Santa Cruz Mountains since long before the Dawn Of Humanity. Toward the end of a trip I was overcome with sorrow. I put on a Gregorian Chant album then lay on my bed in the dark. When the first side of the...

He took several Tylenol each day for at least two years despite that the warning specifically advises not to take it any longer...

"Chiron Beta Prime" and "Re: Your Brains" and his other songs have earned him latitude, though, in my book. Anybody who can write a good song about the Mandelbrot Set has stored up go...
