would've been great... I often wonder the direction music would've taken if all of the 'visionaries' of the late 60's hadn't bought so heavily into the drug and alcohol 'culture' and instead vested more of themselves purely into the music... but it makes one wonder how much of their sheer brilliance was actually brought on by the altered states of consciousness that they attained through drugs-- look back over the last millenia or so, most of the 'great minds' were on some sort of drug or another-- so is it the brillance that's amplified by the altered state of consciousness, or the wreckless lack of abandon (bringing on their ultimate demise) that makes them truly brilliant?
ah, that's another post for another thread on another board
