"Think I'll just DROP OUT/I'll go to Frisco/Buy a wig & sleep/On Owsley's floor."

"... I'm completely stoned/I'm hippy & I'm trippy/I'm a gypsy on my own...."

That Mothers of Invention lyric springs to mind because... Owsley died!
The renegade grandson of a former governor of Kentucky, [Owsley “Bear”] Stanley helped lay the foundation for the psychedelic era by producing more than a million doses of LSD at his labs in San Francisco’s Bay Area....

“I wound up doing time for something I should have been rewarded for... What I did was a community service, the way I look at it. I was punished for political reasons. Absolutely meaningless. Was I a criminal? No. I was a good member of society. Only my society and the one making the laws are different.”
I was a good member of society. Only my society and the one making the laws are different. Ah... that's so... deep.
