Once upon a time there was a guy named Terrance McKenna. Very
deep into psychoactive plants, mushrooms and alternative waves of
being.
I didn't really understand what he was talking about. Not a
clue. This was a good thing because within 15 minutes of listening
to him I was asleep. Again, I didn't not understand anything. I
just knew that if he was on the radio, I was going to be able to go
to sleep.
These days, I need something more "boring" than Mr. McKenna. No
disrespect to Terrance. For those on his wave length he was the
man. Now days, we have a lot of options from ASMR to stories but
for me, Deeply Uniportant cuts through the mind yapping and slides
me into sleepy town.
There is a tribute site by Lorenzo called
Psychedelic Salon that contains some of the
recordings of Terrance McKenna. There is also an official
archive site where you can purchase his work.
