…it's only in podcast number 235 that we actually get to hear him speak. And that recording was made on the day after Al, Humphrey Osmond and Myron Stolaroff had taken LSD together. And this was their decompression talk. But what I would like to play for…

…play for you right now is part of a conversation between Myron Stolaroff and Gary Fisher that began with a discussion about Al Hubbard, who also happened to be a central figure in Myron's life. Myron Stolaroff, whose patented discovery while at Ampex led…

…really fascinating read if you're into books these days. Anyway, let's now join Myron and Gary for a brief, brief discussion of Al Hubbard and of Myron's psychedelic research project in Menlo park. One of the questions that Gary asked me, which I hope…

…had told him about the work he was doing. So I thought, well, gee whiz, maybe I'd get in touch with him. So I wrote Al a letter, and much to my amazement, two or three months later, there he is on the steps of ampex. So we got acquainted and…

…Fortunately, I accumulated a little cash, and we set up a place where really, it was set up pretty much the way Al designed it. Very nice furniture, comfortable setting, beautiful pictures on the wall, a lot of artifacts for people to look at to…

…no doubt guessed, it was only a print and not the actual painting that they were using. Now, I don't know how many times Al Hubbard used that print in psychedelic sessions before giving it to Myron to use at Menlo park, but I do know that Myron showed…

…again. Now, one of the reasons I'm playing this particular lecture today is to point out the fact that while it's very nice that Al Gore has received a Nobel Prize for sounding the ecological alarm, the simple fact of the matter is that a lot of people…

…and first I want to thank you for your donation, and even more for your email. It moved me deeply. One of the things DJ Al said was I was a rave disciple. I was certain without a shadow of doubt that rave culture would change the world. The power…
