...and by that I mean music which speaks to the existence of transcendent realities.
On this the 75th anniversary of Albert Hoffman discovering LSD.
Because I'm an old fart I'm of the opinion that the reason 99.99% of today's music, young people's music, does not speak to me is that it ISN'T psychedelic.
And I reckon young people too (under 30s) are aware of this gaping hollowness in their music as well. That's why so many of them (and us older people) still fixate on older music that was informed by the psychedelic experience.
I'm talking about the far out music of the 60s/70s/80s/90s.
There are the odd breakouts of insanity after 1996 but not enough to sustain everyone's interest.
Is there a properly modern psychedelic music? Is the dreaming going on in other arenas of culture?
