If you ever did acid, you owe him a debt of thanks.
If you ever liked music or art made by someone who did acid, ditto.
I had the honour of meeting him at a conference in 1998. Little Swiss guy in a suit, looked thirty years younger than he was. And he glowed. Nearest thing to a Bodhisattva I have ever met.
I shook his hand and asked the only question I could think of - "why didn't you fall off the bike?"
He mattered.
