Yeah Harrison was the bomb. He's probably smoked more drugs than I will ever see.

It's a lot like Allen Ginsberg and most of the Beat generation...people heap accolades on those guys for being visionary geniuses and the like, and at the end of the day all most of them were, were drug-addicted wannabes with externally-fed delusions of grandeur. I don't mind John Lennon, but nobody is clean, ever -- none of your heroes are what you think they are.
