By the time I heard Timothy Leary chant “Turn on‚ tune in‚ drop out” from the stage of New York’s Fillmore East‚ I had already quit college. The year was 1967‚ and Leary’s battle cry was for me more a confirmation of what I already believed than a call to action. I had never been much good at doing things that didn’t arouse my passion.
