This book would not only document the psychedelic experiences of Thompson in Las Vegas, but would also give his view on the pitfalls of American society – consumerism and indulgence. The trip to Las Vegas helped Thompson to reach his American Dream because he was living according to his own rules…

Stevie Wonder’s song Sir Duke sounds like it uses the ABBA form. I also hear what sounds lik a wall of sound, multiple instruments in each measure of music. I think the style of music originates from the Motown style. My first impression of Beck’s Blue Moon is that it sounds like the beach boys. Although the lyrics are not about surfing, the musical style sounds like the Beach Boys. It has the distinctive background vocals of the surf music, it sounds like the later music of the Beach Boys…

The 1960’s were a time of social and political evolution, but this thirst to change was not limited to such causes and spread to other cultural elements, most importantly music. The decade was a time for performers to experiment with new and exciting ways of making sounds and performing music. Ways that had never been seen or heard before. Artists who would never have been popularized a decade earlier were finding a following in the free spirited 1960’s culture. Artists like Bob Dylan, Pink…

DMT. Dimethyltryptamine (DM) is a psychedelic entheogen that lets your consciousness come across some of the most unbelievable experiences, visions, thoughts, and dimensions imaginable. DMT is what makes you dream. It’s almost like every night you are on a psychedelic trip. Although illegal, this drug is in plants and every living animal. Some people actually extract this drug from plants and smoke it or take it orally. It is known to be the most intense psychedelic drug in the world. It is also…

There is not much said about how Ken Kesey's character Chief Bromden came to The Ward. His diagnosis was never directly stated in the book and Kesey made no mention of it. There is evidence available both in One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest and in Ken Kesey’s personal life that suggests that Chief Bromden has what would now be diagnosed as schizophrenia. His unwillingness to talk and constant visions support this diagnosis. In the beginning of the book Chief Reveals himself to be unreliable. He…

HOW DID THE ‘SWINGING’ 60S IMPACT ON MODEN BRITISH GRAPHIC DESIGN? The central theme to this essay is to discuss and prove how the ‘Swinging’ 60s has impacted modern British design; this will be achieved through extensive research into the culture and artists that were prominent in the decade. In this essay I will analyse and compare two British artists/designers that I believe were at their prime in the 1960s. The 1960s was a colourful decade for Britain, following the aftermath of the…

Anton Köllisch developed 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine as a by-product of research for a drug to combat abnormal bleeding. It was largely ignored for 70 years until it became popular in the dance clubs of the early 80s. It was only when the Rave culture of the late 80s adopted Ecstasy as its drug of choice that MDMA became one of the top four illegal drugs in use killing an estimated 50 people a year in the UK alone. Its inventor died in World War I. Medical reviews have noted that MDMA has…

that they played was Psychedelic, Acid, and Folk rock. Notice that the rock band The Beatles played rock music as well in the 1960s but, 5 years later Country Joe and The Fish began and the style of rock genre change. Although many can that The Beatles played folk rock because it was uptempo but no like acid rock nor psychedelic rock. Rock as well as blues genre took a turn and multiple sub genre were created. Psychedelic rock is a form of rock music that enhance the psychedelic experiences of…

being happy, not about what others thought you should be. Their “If it feels good, do it” attitudes included little forethought nor concern for the consequences of their actions. Along with this lifestyle came many musical advances and styles. Psychedelic Rock became very popular and no band influenced this music type more than Jefferson Airplane. The songs: “White Rabbit,” “Somebody to Love,” and “Today” all showed different aspects of the band worth analyzing. Jefferson Airplane was a San…

The answer is you can’t. Similar to LSD, “what happens on a mushroom trip varies by person, dosage and the type of mushroom eaten, as some are more powerful than others (science).” Those individuals looking to experience with this psychedelic should consider both their setting and current mental state. These two factors play a large role in how “positive” your trip will be, and what kind of experience you will get out of it. Those individuals who experience with psilocybin mushrooms…
