In January 1969, the Grateful Dead appeared on ‘Playboy After Dark,’ Hugh Hefner’s late-night TV salon, and covertly dosed the entire set with LSD.
Owsley Stanley, the Dead’s sound engineer and legendary LSD chemist, allegedly spiked the coffee.
For the United States Bicentennial in 1976, the government funded one of the wildest short films ever made.
Created by animator Vincent Collins & produced by the United States Information Agency, the film goes on a kaleidoscopic journey through iconic
American symbols.
