I'm not really sold on Asia, though, so probably won't bother with them unless someone more reputable recommends them. lol

A lot of people judged Leary just based on that catch phrase of "Tune in Turn on Drop out" and assumed a lot without knowing the full context of the meaning held in the lecture. The message was not to drop acid and forget about society by any stretch. Similarly, myself, and perhaps many others have taken Kanye out of context and not given full attention to his artistic oeuvre. As the P Funk declares... free your mind and your ass will follow.
Good shrooms can have a profound and everlasting effect. Yauch went from being the kind of guy that would throw eggs off the top of the Mondrian at innocent bystanders on the streets below to being the kind of guy that would step in the way of an oncoming egg to protect a total stranger. I am pretty sure he eventually will re-incarnate as the next Dali Lama.
