Mortar & Pestle Albert Hoffman has died aged 102.

I will be taking a moment of introspective silence.

Wow, we will never be able to calculate the effect his work had on the United States in the 60s. He truly created a revolution in thought in his lab which affected everyone whether they did LSD or not.

Sad news, but it's nice that he lived to be 102.

Timothy Leary's dead.
No, no, no, no, he's only outside, looking in.
Timothy Leary's dead.
No, no, no, no, he's only outside, looking in.

He'll fly his astral plane,
Takes you trips around the Bay,
Brings you back the same day,
Timothy Leary, Timothy Leary.

Along the coast you'll hear them boast
About a light they say that shines so clear.
So raise your glass, we'll drink a toast
To the little man who sells you thrills along the pier.

He'll take you up, he'll bring you down,
He'll plant your feet back firmly on the ground.
He flies so high, he swoops so low,
He knows exactly which way he's gonna go.
Timothy Leary, Timothy Leary.
