My memoir / expose of the seedier side of the beats, the hippies, and the new age is now available.  Press release at http://www.prweb.com/releases/2012/2/prweb9209654.htm. 

The dedication: 

“This book is dedicated to the elucidation of ‘the best

minds of my generation destroyed by madness,’ to

those who have sought to stop the madness rather than

exacerbate it, to the best minds of the Eastern and

Western traditions who never succumbed to the madness,

and to the victims of those who did.”

The opening poem:

He*rd said.

He said she said that they said I said … but

What I really said

Is I think it’s you instead.
