A lot of the losertarianns here on FR are acid/pot heads. Groovy.

Life Long Republican, huh? explains our losses the past two cycles.

Regular trips down LSD river. What brains (or lack thereof).

[Hoodat]

It may open new doorways, but they don’t lead anywhere.

I like the Electric Punes and the Turtles, myself.

Oh, yeah. Everybody who lived through it knows a few acid casualties. The problem with putting your head in another place is that if you do it often enough it doesn't come back.

There are no cosmic revelations here. Pretty pictures, pretty sounds, a giant man-sized Venus Flytrap baited with sweets unendurable. Walk away, my friend.

the universe is laughing at you behind your back” ~ Deteriorata.

And 100% of the people on here who use "losertarianns" in their posts are a**holes.

A lot of the losertarianns here on FR are acid/pot heads.

But most are just pathetic and respond to articles they do not read nor have any experience with nor do they provide any serious dialog to the discussion, they just have lazy and lame sarcasm.

I like the Electric Punes and the Turtles, myself.

Indeed, they were boss, groovy, and out of sight--as were the Amboy Dukes, the Cardboard Zepplin, the Crazy World of Arthur Brown, the Strawberry Alarm Clock, John's Children, and Fever Tree.

on FR are acid/pot heads

Nah. This is not your father's Dead show; it's a younger shroom 'n beer crowd.

In this article, they have an alternate version of the group’s name.

I love acid rock, I remember the first time I hitch hiked to California during the sixties I was pleasantly surprised at how well known and liked the 13th floor elevators were out here.

[JDoutrider]

LOL!

The tales I could tell from that era mirrors yours... The Haight, Carousel Ballroom (later called the Filmore West), Avalon Ballroom, and everything from Ocean Beach to Freel Peak! What a slice of Life that truly was back in '66-68!
