Canadian Paul 97 Posted January 6, 2006 well im sure if the man does die its not like anyone will miss him i bet most the people that use lsd dont even know who discovered it.... I'm not so sure about that. I've talked to druggies who don't know who Quentin Tarantino is but who can give you the name Albert Hoffman if you ask them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sympathyforthedevil 11 Posted January 6, 2006 When does he celebrate his 100th birthday? I'm guessing when he's reached that milestone he'll probably give up on living. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well actually there's a big bash on for Albert's 100th Symposium Tickets are like gold dust for that one I can assure you Who needs to buy a ticket? Maybe we can just all take some LSD and spend the day Deathlisting? If nothing else, I'd imagine there'd be a fun bit of discussion around Banshees, Tempus and Windsor.

Captain Oates 21 Posted January 9, 2006 Albert Hofman ponders his 100th birthday for the New York Times. When asked if the drug had deepened his understanding of death, he appeared mildly startled and said no. "I go back to where I came from, to where I was before I was born, that's all," he said.

Star Crossed 33 Posted January 12, 2006 100yrs young today. Maybe taking drugs is the key to longevity If that's the case, I added about four weeks onto my life last night. Thanks so much Albert, for all you've given to humanity. The insight, the beauty, the creativity and the love. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Magere Hein 1,400 Posted January 12, 2006 Thanks so much Albert, for all you've given to humanity. The insight, the beauty, the creativity and the love. Yes, this is the appropriate thread for such comments. I've never done acid, even though I've done most popular illicit drugs. The thought of tinkering with my already disturbed mind is not very tempting. Mebby I bought into the scare stories too much. regards, Hein Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Only Brian Jones Didn't do Mick Taylor much good either, I don't think... didn't he end up in a loony bin for a while after his brief association with the Stones? As far as I can remember this was down to dallying with drugs such as LSD. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phantom 2,533 Posted January 25, 2006 Brinsworth, Mick Taylor is still going, he's touring solo at the moment. Although he hasn't done much since 2000 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Banshees Scream 110 Posted January 25, 2006 QUOTE 100yrs young today. Maybe taking drugs is the key to longevity It hasn't failed the Rolling Stones. Only Brian Jones There is no evidence Brian Jones was intoxicated with anything at the time of his death. He drowned in a swimming pool which with many rumors there were a fight of some kind or maybe just a simple asthma attack. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brinsworth House Baiter 12 Posted January 25, 2006 I knew he was still alive (surprised to learn he's still touring though), but I just thought I remembered him being in a loony bin after he left the band. I must be thinking of someone else. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As far as I can remember this was down to dallying with drugs such as LSD. Mick Taylor quit the Stones cos he couldn't handle the fame/hard drugs, he probably did go a bit mental but hey, it was the '70s wasn't it?
