BLACK ROCK DESERT, Nev. — Timothy Leary, the late father of LSD, was memorialized at Burning Man after a fantastic procession and burning of his ashes in the Black Rock Desert. It was a spectacle that not even he probably could have imagined, as actress Susan Sarandon led a march with his ashes into a temporary church built as an art installation in the desert for the week-long festival.

It was one of the most eagerly awaited appearances of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The moment when one of Hollywood's favourite couples were to take to the stage to discuss September 11 and their play constructed around its horrors. But by the time Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins appeared to talk about The Guys, a tribute to the New York firemen who died in the Twin Towers, it was not to the acclaim that might be expected, given the subject matter and the emotional treatment.

Susan Sarandon, one of the original stars of the cult 1975 SF movie The Rocky Horror Picture Show, told SCI FI Wire that she wants nothing to do with a proposed remake—not even a cameo.
