Timothy Leary

Timothy Leary – the quintessential counter-culture icon crossing a bridge from the 20th to the 21st century. There are so many ways to describe Timothy Leary, as his life was rich and long with extraordinary adventures, misadventures, and remarkable achievements. Leary biographer John Higgs, in his introduction to Robert Anton Wilson’s The Starseed Signals, offers this thought…

“The difficulty in nailing Leary down is the main reason why, for all the drama and extraordinary adventure of his life, we have yet to see a proper telling of his story on film or television. I have lost count of the amount of Leary projects that have been attempted over the last couple of decades, but they usually fail due to an inability to define their leading man at the script stage. Some try and portray him as a wise sage, and others see him as a brave and foolhardy adventurer, but none seem able or willing to capture his neurological relativity or his mercurial, shifting character. They try to paint him as either Odin or Thor, in other words, when he should really be Loki.”
