Osama Bin Laden may be dead, but it is important for everyone to remember that he was just one person in a very large group responsible for the 9/11 attacks. I feel we are being lulled into a false sense of security. Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad that there is one less thing to worry about in the world what with all the cancer, and Jersey Shore people, and global warming, and Satan, and all that scary stuff (I suppose). Justice was due and if this one death helps to relieve the pain of those who lost loved ones on September 11th than hooray indeed! But do not put down your gat America, trouble may still be on the horizon! </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'courier new';"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px; font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'courier new';"><br /></span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" color: rgb(51, 51, 51); line-height: 14px; font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'courier new';">Here’s a fun idea: Let’s start a conspiracy theory! I was thinking that maybe Osama Bin Laden is actually still alive…but barely. He is being held captive deep within the bowels of the White House where Obama is personally torturing him with lit cigarettes and lemon juice and Kirk Cameron’s TV show and other horrible things! Yes, no, maybe so?

I was skimming through a few books when I noticed one in particular. The cover was colorful and psychedelic with a crazed looking old man smiling at nothing in particular. I was of course very curious about this book and who this elated man was and when I recognized the man to be none other than Timothy Leary, the psychedelic drug advocate and cultural icon of the 1960s, I knew I just had to read it.<div><br /></div><div><i>Leary On Drugs</i> makes me think, a lot.

We both came to the conclusion that the thing that made Morrison's music so stirring on stage was his ability to enjoy the experience just as much as anyone in the audience did. Most artists today sing or perform on stage with the clear knowledge that they are being watched for others entertainment. Jim Morrison's experience on stage was unpolished, drug induced and chaotic, but that's the beauty of it. He knew about a much about what he was going to do on stage as anyone else did.<div><br /></div><div><br /></div>ALANAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02223966635626552458noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4791222111806743368.post-16326886791712561012010-01-23T23:34:00.000-08:002010-01-23T23:53:51.065-08:00Most people love you for who you pretend to be.
