RIP Art Linkletter

[paul secor]

Paul - I was making two separate references - first - your comment on agenda (which was outta line, implying as it does that I have some secret, long term paranoid social vision which I am determined to impose on the Western world - hey on second thought, not a bad idea) - but if you read above, Weizen launched the second of you guys' two-pronged lets-get-Lowe attack. Nice coordination, fellas.

as for "You don't cover something up and then air it out" - well, of course you do - it's a classic disinformation technique. And it worked, hence your acceptance of the party line - which is the non-party line in disguise. What better situation for Art than to cover up the truth at the same time as he continues his anti-drug self promotion? Common CIA technique as well, and, well, looking at the LSD connection, who would be surprised?

Paul, when you come down from your high, you'll see that I was right. Next time don't mix muscle relaxers with Muscatel. That's what did Weizen in.

Think I'm ok as long as I stay away from whatever meds you're on.

Everybody knew Richard Gere stuck a gerbil up his butt too!

R.I.P....up to a fer years ago, he was on Larry King quite often.

The gerbil?

I don't remember exactly what Linkletter's story was at the time, but if all he actually claimed was that the death was LSD "related", then there is no conflict at all between what Allen is claiming and what the autopsy found.

The "popular version" of the story was that she was tripping, thought she could fly, and found out the hard way that she couldn't. But if she committed suicide as the result of a "mental imbalance" brought about by the after-effects of LSD use, then everybody's right, nobody's wrong, and we can all stay on or off our meds as befits the indiivdual's expectaions/resultsPparadigmatic Realization Index.

Sounds good to me.

"believe me, at the time it happened, EVERYBODY knew it was acid-related."

Linkletter's daughter died in 1969. How old were you then Allen - 15? Find it hard to accept that a 15 year old knew "everybody".

Everybody did know this back then. Keep in mind that everybody knew a lot of bullshit, just like today...

The stories that rodent could tell!

[AllenLowe]

let's just say I'm well connected - there's just stuff I know because I know the right people. Always have.

If you guys were nicer to me I might actually introduce you to some of these sources. But now, Paul, that you've questioned their veracity I think,for your own protection, I'll have to just relay any additional questions you may have back to them. Fortunately they don't read this site.

Whatever the politics or cause of the daughter's death - he seemed to be a genuinely nice man with pleasure derived by many. Pretty good obit in my book.

Exactly. I always took it about the same way I took all those stories of kids jumping off their parents roof with a home-made cape, trying to emulate Superman.

Same here.

Indeed.

And a former hobo to boot.

Yeah, Paul & I are in constant PM contact. We hatch new plots daily. We even have this long-fingered woman permanently stationed on the rocks outside your coastal home, keeping an eye on you.

The Gerbil did seem to be on....something, whenever he was on.

Exactly. I can just barely remember watching him on TV when I was young (and before politics might have colored my perceptions), but for whatever reason I always thought highly of him.

Really??? More than Jesus??? More than the Dali Lama??? Even more than Mamie Van Doren???

An amazing brain was responsible for the last post.

Really! What could possibly be more interesting than hearing tales of Diane Linkletter's LSD experiences? It's not knowing about them that has made me the frustrated & untethered soul I am today.

All signs point to yes.
