Neil Cassidy himself was a volunteer participant in the government lsd experiments and talked openly about it. Doesn't change the fact the band and the musicians within it created some of the best music ever made.
I was a Dead fan too and I can't see how their music could be something sinister, but it feels weird knowing that "the man" created all these bands and there was nothing organic about it.
"the man" didn't create the Dead, Jerry, Pig Pen, Bobby etc did. You really think Jerry Garcia wouldn't have become a musician without "the man"? You don't know his history of you believe that. Listen to his music and read the lyrics, he was "awake" before we were.
Did the man use a situation to test some chemicals on some willing participants? Sure. So didn't a bunch of chemists in the community.
If you listen to Jerry solo and think there is nothing "organic" about it, there is nothing I can say or do, you're too far lost. The music they produced is simply the most organic ever created. Drop into a middle of a jam, any jam, and tell me "the CIA made this".
Fuck that.
The fountain was not created by the hands of man.
Sorry, I did not mean to insinuate anything about anyone's talent, just that the origin stories of most popular musicians and groups have connections to clandestine actors. I find that odd and troubling.
