I didn't take it, but here it is:

Hmmm. When I see "On the Road", I think of Kerouac, not Leary. If
the mandate was "Turn on, tune in, drop out", I'd think of Leary.


Kerouac had little to do with Leary. He would have been too far gone as
an alcoholic and near death when that shot was taken. However, you have
in that image Neil Cassady, Kerouac's friend portrayed as "Dean
Moriarty" a major protagonist, along with Kerouac's
self-characterization of "Sal Paradis" in "On The Road".

Of course, "On the Road" was published in 1957 when I was in college,
so the reference might be more meaningful to me. Leary came to
prominence a decade or so later.


....and Leary would be found with Cassady sometime between 1968-1971 and
their travels with Ken Kesey and his "Merry Pranksters" on Kesey's
"Magic Bus". All that was documented In Tom Wolfe's "The Electric Kool
Aid Acid Test".

Actually that should be sometime between 1965-1968 since Cassady died in 1968.

I don't see that as "off topic" for the mandate, actually.
