I went through menopause with a woman - my wife. It is a terrible thing to have to endure as a spouse. I suspect little Timmy Robbins dumped her because of it. I’m guessing she’s just bat sh!t hormonal crazy now.
Sigh.
No need to look any further than Sarandon to see the effects of how dropping acid can addle the brain.
Give it a rest Susan, we’re still trying to recover from the sixties.
So they built the temporary church with the intention of burning it down with Leary’s ashes in it. And they burn other stuff, including the “man.” Why isn’t the EPA on this?
They’re only faking their paganism. They should have gone all the way and stuffed Sarandon inside that wicker man before they lit it up. A sacrifice to the “gods,” you know. It’s considered an honor.
Twice baked ashes? Actually third baked if we count the LSD.
Neo pagan American decadence and hedonism on full display. Amusing that the degenerates use Christian symbols such as a Gothic “church” in their rituals.
I’m surprised that these hippie retreads didn’t snort Leary’s ashes.
“burning of his ashes “. That sounds a bit re-redundant.
How did Dammit Janet get custody of Leary’s ashes?
And why did she feel it necessary to wear a wedding dress during the ceremony?
(My guess, she’s so desperate for a husband she’s willing to claim that she’s marrying someone ashes)

Ironic since Timothy has been doing his own burning man thing since 1996.
Wavy Gravy,August 1969
I thought they shot Timothy Leary’s ashes into space?
I didn’t really know what Burning Man was. I swear I thought it was some kind of music festival. Now I went and looked up what they are and here are their 10 Principles.
The 10 Principles of Burning Man
Burning Man co-founder Larry Harvey wrote the Ten Principles in 2004 as guidelines for the newly-formed Regional Network. They were crafted not as a dictate of how people should be and act, but as a reflection of the community’s ethos and culture as it had organically developed since the event’s inception.
Radical Inclusion
Anyone may be a part of Burning Man. We welcome and respect the stranger. No prerequisites exist for participation in our community.
Gifting
Burning Man is devoted to acts of gift giving. The value of a gift is unconditional. Gifting does not contemplate a return or an exchange for something of equal value.
Decommodification
In order to preserve the spirit of gifting, our community seeks to create social environments that are unmediated by commercial sponsorships, transactions, or advertising. We stand ready to protect our culture from such exploitation. We resist the substitution of consumption for participatory experience.
Radical Self-reliance
Burning Man encourages the individual to discover, exercise and rely on his or her inner resources.

Radical Self-expression
Radical self-expression arises from the unique gifts of the individual. No one other than the individual or a collaborating group can determine its content. It is offered as a gift to others. In this spirit, the giver should respect the rights and liberties of the recipient.
Communal Effort
Our community values creative cooperation and collaboration. We strive to produce, promote and protect social networks, public spaces, works of art, and methods of communication that support such interaction.
Civic Responsibility
We value civil society. Community members who organize events should assume responsibility for public welfare and endeavor to communicate civic responsibilities to participants. They must also assume responsibility for conducting events in accordance with local, state and federal laws.
Leaving No Trace
Our community respects the environment. We are committed to leaving no physical trace of our activities wherever we gather. We clean up after ourselves and endeavor, whenever possible, to leave such places in a better state than when we found them.
Participation
Our community is committed to a radically participatory ethic. We believe that transformative change, whether in the individual or in society, can occur only through the medium of deeply personal participation. We achieve being through doing. Everyone is invited to work. Everyone is invited to play. We make the world real through actions that open the heart.
Immediacy
Immediate experience is, in many ways, the most important touchstone of value in our culture. We seek to overcome barriers that stand between us and a recognition of our inner selves, the reality of those around us, participation in society, and contact with a natural world exceeding human powers. No idea can substitute for this experience.
Me again. What a load of carp. These are out and out lies written in touchy freely for the youthful and dumb.
Each one contradicts the next. All about giving? Giving by itself with no gracious receiving is selfish and controlling. See all mafia dons, ever. They give, all right, but it is only to establish superiority and debt.
Individual self reliance yet social participation as equal principles? Is that like, when we need your work, you’d better be there, but hey, if you are sick or hungry you are On your Own?
Notice what is missing? CARING for people. Putting the needs of others before yourself. Kindness.
It’s all a bunch of bull.
