Timothy Leary, the late counterculture guru, informed on a radical leftist group in hopes of winning his freedom from jail, FBI records show. BUMMER.
A visionary like me, stuck here in jail. No paisley blankets, no sitar music, not even a water pipe. The cameras and the guy from Rolling Stone just have visiting hours. All these drug laws that landed me here are so meaningless, so petty. LSD is the great mind opener, the agent of freedom. Yes, I've heard all about the brain damage, but not every thing works for everyone. (That's good. I better write it down.) So what do I do about this jail business? I did nothing to deserve this. But here I am in one of those California prison farms. I've got to get out. Metal bars, prison laundry, food on tin trays -- this doesn't work for me. The last time I escaped, I got by with a little help from my friends. This time, I'll tell the cops who helped me on that escape. Then I can get out, like right away? It's all politics, unreality, nothingness. My spirit and my quest is what is important. If cops want to be cops and talk to me, then let them. I need to forget the old and welcome the new. Snitch? Rat? Squeal? Call it what you want. But this jail thing just isn't right for me. I need a higher plane. Never mind the past; It's nothing to dwell on.I'm Timothy LearyPubdate:Friday, July 2, 1999 ©1999 San Francisco Chronicle Page A22
