  • 1968:  The second "LSD users go blind from staring at the sun" hoax is nationally reported




Quote:

6 Students Blind After LSD 'Trip'

HARRISBURG, Pa. (UPI).—Six western Pennsylvania college students are undergoing rehabilitation after being permanently blinded by staring at the sun while under the influence of LSD.

  Norman M. Yoder, State Commissioner for the Blind, said yesterday the students—all male juniors—were totally blinded 18 months ago on the campus of a western Pennsylvania school.

  He said the students, aged 18 to 21, whom he described as "nice kids, not hippies," took the drug and then relaxed in a sunny meadow near campus. The effects of the drug produced loss of consciousness and apparently kept the youths' eyelids from closing and the sun burned their retinas while they were in a semi stupor, he said.

  YODER SAID the students lay on the ground about eight hours. They were sightless when found by classmates.

  Yoder, who himself is blind, would not identify the students nor would he disclose the name of the college. He said the students are now undergoing remedial training to enable them to live near-normal lives.

  All have returned to classes since the incident, he said, but not at the same school.

  "THEY HAVE a terrific psychological problem to to overcome," he said. "They're trying to figure out where we go from here in a totally new life."

  Yoder said the rehabilitation by the State Welfare Department's Office of the Blind involves training in how to travel with a white can, learning Braille and other skills needed to live without vision.

  He said two of the students had been studying engineering at the time of the incident and had given up their career plans.

  The six are now preparing for the future in the teaching, social service and rehabilitation fields, he said.


(Philadelphia Daily News (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania)  13 Jan 1968, Sat Page 4)

Note: The first "LSD sun staring" hoax, about 4 students, was reported in California on May 18, 1967



As per Snopes.com:
First of all, notice that the ante has been upped: now there are six students; the victims have been made completely blind; and, as Newsweek described it, this tragedly befell engineering students who were "nice kids, not hippies" (unlike those California freaks who blathered on about having "religious conversations with the sun"). And once again, there's that nagging non-specificity of detail: the students, their school, their rescuers, the doctors who treated them, and the medical facility where they were taken are all unnamed. The spokesman is identified this time, but as we're about to see, Dr. Norman M. Yoder is not quite a reliable
source.

Although the incident in Pennsylvania was reported as a breaking news story, it had allegedly occurred 20 months earlier (in April 1966). Dr. Yoder, blind from childhood due to an accident, had attended a lecture on the "dangers of LSD" in the autumn of 1967, and shortly afterwards he mentioned the story of the blinded students to Joseph Hunt, the commissioner of the Rehabilitation Service Administration, an office of the federal cabinet's Department of Health, Education and Welfare. Hunt asked Yoder for a written account of the incident, and Yoder complied by submitting actual case studies of six blind students (with the students' names covered over), all of whom were reportedly receiving state aid. This "report" was leaked to an Associated Press reporter who released it to the media on 13 January 1968, and outraged government officials took quick action. The next day the Federal Drug Administration announced it would conduct an investigation and prosecute the persons who had supplied LSD to the blinded students. On January 16, Pennsylvania state senator Benjamin R. Donolow and the press secretary for vacationing Pennsylvania governor Raymond P. Shafer both stated at news conferences that the story was true, as did Governor Shafer himself on January 17.

Some sensible skeptics managed to make themselves heard, however. Ophthamologists expressed their doubts that even LSD could override self-preservation instincts long enough to keep a person's eyes focused on the sun until retinal tissues burned, or that such an occurrence could have remained unreported twenty months later. And when investigators began to check on the case reports offered by Dr. Yoder, they found several damning inconsistencies: one of the "victims" had been receiving state aid since before April 1966, and another hadn't even been a student at the time of the alleged blindings. Yoder admitted on January 18 that he had made the whole thing up because of his "concern over illegal LSD use by children." The "distraught and upset" Commissioner Yoder was immediately suspended from his post as he checked himself into the Philadelphia Psychiatric Center, where he spent four weeks before being permanently removed from his position with the Welfare Department. (Although Dr. Norman Yoder is the name now mentioned whenever this story is discussed, the creation of this legend should be credited to the anonymous hoaxster[s] who had planted the "blinded students" articles in California newspapers eight months earlier.)









  • 1969:  Yellow Submarine soundtrack is released




Quote:

Yellow Submarine is the tenth studio album by the Beatles in the United Kingdom, released on Apple Records. It was issued as the soundtrack to the film of the same name, which premiered in the United Kingdom seven months prior to the album's release.

Content

Only one side of the album contains songs performed by the Beatles; of the six, four were previously unissued. "Yellow Submarine" had been simultaneously issued in 1966 as a single and on the album Revolver, and "All You Need Is Love" had been issued as a single in 1967. The second side features the symphonic film score composed by George Martin, in versions recorded specifically for the album.

"All You Need Is Love" appeared in either mono or rechanneled stereo, ('fake stereo') on the US LP Magical Mystery Tour. It debuted in a true stereo mix on LP for this album. American cassette and 8-track tape versions featured "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" as an extra song on side two.

History

Only four new Beatles songs appeared on the album, and two were recorded specifically for the film, "All Together Now" and "Hey Bulldog".  "Only a Northern Song" had been recorded during the sessions for Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, but was set aside from the final running order.  "It's All Too Much," like similar numbers recorded immediately following the Sgt. Pepper sessions, was not intended for a specific project.  "Hey Bulldog", recorded on 11 February 1968, evolved from an initial intent to shoot a promotional film for the "Lady Madonna" single.

"Baby, You're a Rich Man" was also originally intended for the film soundtrack, but was released as the B-side to "All You Need Is Love" instead and was not included in the Yellow Submarine album.

  • 1971:  Arthur Stoll dies




Quote:

Arthur Stoll (January 8, 1887 Schinznach-Dorf - 13 January 1971 Dornach) was a Swiss biochemist.

Education and career

He developed together with its employees a range of methods for producing drugs. Thus he developed the first isolation of ergot alkaloids (as ergotamine and ergobasine) and cardiac glycosides, which are used as a medicine for heart diseases. A Continuous process for the production of soluble calcium salts was developed.

  • 1972:  The Brotherhood Of Eternal Love is busted with 1,330 lbs of hash




Quote:

1,330 Pounds Of Hashish Seized By Federal Agents

  PORTLAND, Ore. (UPI) Authorities arrested three California California men Thursday night (January 13, 1972) and seized 1,330 pounds of hashish valued from $1.99 million to $6 million on the Illegal market in what customs officials said was the largest confiscated shipment shipment of the drug in history.
  The illegal drug was found hidden in a pickup truck that was being transported on a Dutch freighter from Bombay, India to Vancouver. B.C., via US West Coast ports.
  U.S. Customs agents in Portland said they became suspicious of the vehicle because it had California license plates, but was not unloaded when the freighter stopped at Los Angeles and San Francisco.
  Agents said they found the hashish in three and four pound packages wrapped in foil hidden near the engine located in the rear of the 1971 model Volkswagen pickup truck.
  The freighter's owners and the agents decided to place the vehicle on the docks. Authorities notified the three suspects to travel to Portland to pick it up because of trouble in shipping it further.
  Taken into custody on the Portland docks were David M. Reddy, 23, of Laguna Miquel, and Brian K. McAdams, 52, of Laguna Beach. Arrested in the vehicle itself was Thomas B. Bidwell, 26, of Laguna Beach.
  A spokesman for the U.S. Customs Commission said in Washington, D.C., that the pickup truck had been shipped from Los Angeles to Karachi, Pakistan, last June, and was en route to Vancouver via the United States when it was seized.
  The spokesman said investigation indicated that the hashish had been earmarked for smuggling back into the United States from Vancouver for illicit sale.
  In Washington, U.S. Customs Commissioner Myles J. Ambrose Ambrose said the hashish was worth $1,995,000, but agents here said it might be worth three times that figure. Ambrose said the shipment of hashish was the largest ever seized.


(The Dispatch (Moline, Illinois), 14 Jan 1972, Fri,  Page 11)




Karl Schmitt's Volkswagen camper was a much-travelled vehicle. When it arrived in Seattle early in 1971 it was at the end of a nine-month trip taking in India, Afghanistan and Hawaii. The customs men were struck by the camper and its journey and put it on a weighbridge. For some inexplicable reason, the vehicle was 490 lb heavier than when it had been exported. The customs men decided to let the camper go and see what happened.
    In the winter of 1971, Mr Schmitt was still travelling. This time the camper was unloaded at Vancouver, British Colombia, because of a dockers' strike at Seattle. It waited on the dock for collection.
    Early in January 1972 another much travelled camper came into Portland, Oregon. Customs men waited. On 3 January a group of Brothers turned up at the dock, expecting to clear the Volkswagen without difficulty, one of them smartly and conventionally dressed as usual to lull any customs suspicions. The customs men pounced. Inside hidden sections of the camper they found 1,330 lb of hash-the biggest load ever seized in the United States at that time.

Quote:

YELLOW SUBMARINE
(Lennon/McCartney)

PAUL 1966: "It's a happy place, that's all. You know, it was just... We were trying to write a children's song. That was the basic idea. And there's nothing more to be read into it than there is in the lyrics of any children's song."


JOHN 1972: "Paul wrote the catchy chorus. I helped with the blunderbuss bit."


JOHN 1980: "'Yellow Submarine' is Paul's baby. Donovan helped with the lyrics. I helped with the lyrics too. We virtually made the track come alive in the studio, but based on Paul's inspiration. Paul's idea. Paul's title... written for Ringo."


PAUL 1984: "I wrote that in bed one night. As a kid's story. And then we thought it would be good for Ringo to do."


PAUL circa-1994: "I was laying in bed in the Asher's garret, and there's a nice twilight zone just as you're drifting into sleep and as you wake from it-- I always find it quite a comfortable zone. I remember thinking that a children's song would be quite a good idea... I was thinking of it as a song for Ringo, which it eventually turned out to be, so I wrote it as not too rangey in the vocal. I just made up a little tune in my head, then started making a story-- sort of an ancient mariner, telling the young kids where he'd lived. It was pretty much my song as I recall... I think John helped out. The lyrics got more and more obscure as it goes on, but the chorus, melody and verses are mine."


GEORGE 1999: "Paul came up with the concept of 'Yellow Submarine.' All I know is just that every time we'd all get around the piano with guitars and start listening to it and arranging it into a record, we'd all fool about. As I said, John's doing the voice that sounds like someone talking down a tube or ship's funnel as they do in the merchant marine. (laughs) And on the final track there's actually that very small party happening! As I seem to remember, there's a few screams and what sounds like small crowd noises in the background."



ONLY A NORTHERN SONG
(Harrison)

GEORGE 1980: "'Northern Song' was a joke relating to Liverpool, the Holy City in the North of England. In addition, the song was copyrighted Northern Songs LTD, which I don't own."


GEORGE 1999: "It was at the point that I realized Dick James had conned me out of the copyrights for my own songs by offering to become my publisher. As an 18 or 19-year-old kid, I thought, 'Great, somebody's gonna publish my songs!' But he never said, 'And incidentally, when you sign this document here, you're assigning me the ownership of the songs,' which is what it is. It was just a blatant theft. By the time I realized what had happened, when they were going public and making all this money out of this catalog, I wrote 'Only A Northern Song' as what we call a 'piss-take,' just to have a joke about it."



ALL TOGETHER NOW
(Lennon/McCartney)

JOHN 1971: "I enjoyed it when football crowds in the early days would sing 'All Together Now.'"


PAUL circa-1994: "When they were singing a song, to encourage the audience to join in they'd say 'All together now,' so I just took it and read another meaning into it, of-- we are all together now. So I used the dual meaning. It's really a children's song. I had a few young relatives and I would sing songs for them."



HEY BULLDOG
(Lennon/McCartney)

JOHN 1980: "It's a good sounding record that means nothing."


PAUL circa-1994: "I remember 'Hey Bulldog' as being one of John's songs and I helped him finish it off in the studio, but it's mainly his vibe. There's a little rap at the end between John and I, we went into a crazy little thing at the end. We always tried to make every song different because we figured, 'Why write something like the last one? We've done that.' We were on a ladder so there was never any sense of stepping down a rung, or even staying on the same rung, it was better to move one rung ahead."


GEORGE 1999: "We now have an unreleased video of 'Hey Bulldog,' as you know. When we were in the studio recording 'Bulldog,' apparently it was at a time when they needed some footage for something else, some other record (Lady Madonna), and a film crew came along and filmed us. Then they cut up the footage and used some of the shots for something else. But it was Neil Aspinall who found out that when you watched and listened to what the original thing was, we were recording 'Bulldog.' This was apparently the only time we were actually filmed recording something, so what Neil did was, he put (the unused footage) all back together again and put the 'Bulldog' soundtrack onto it, and there it was!"



IT'S ALL TOO MUCH
(Harrison)

GEORGE 1980: "'It's All Too Much' was written in a childlike manner from realizations that appeared during and after some LSD experiences and which were later confirmed in meditation."


GEORGE 1999: "I just wanted to write a rock 'n roll song about the whole psychedelic thing of the time-- 'Sail me on a silver sun/ Where I know that I am free/ Show me that I'm everywhere/ And get me home for tea.' (laughs) Because you'd trip out, you see, on all this stuff, and then whoops! you'd just be back having your evening cup of tea! 'Your long blond hair/ And your eyes of blue' --that was all just this big ending we had, going out. And as it was in those days, we had the horn players just play a bit of trumpet voluntarily, and so that's how that 'Prince Of Denmark' bit was played (in the fade-out). And Paul and John just came up with and sang that lyric of 'your eyes of blue.'"



ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE
(Lennon/McCartney)

PAUL 1967: "We had been told we'd be seen recording it by the whole world at the same time. So we had one message for the world-- Love. We need more love in the world."


PAUL circa-1994: "'All You Need Is Love' was John's song. I threw in a few ideas, as did other members of the group, but it was largely ad libs like singing 'She Loves You' or 'Greensleeves' or silly little things like that at the end, and we made those up on the spot."




INSTRUMENTAL TRACKS BY GEORGE MARTIN

(excerpted from his book, 'All You Need Is Ears.')

MARTIN 1979: "Everything had to be tailor-made for the picture ('Yellow Submarine' film). If a door opened or a funny face appeared at a window, and those moments needed to be pointed-up, it was the musical score that had to do the job.

"The answer is really very simple. You plan whatever tempo your rhythm is going to be, and then you lay down what is called a 'click track.' That is, a separate track which simply contains a click sound which appears every so many frames of film. You know that 35-mm film runs at 24 frames per second, so knowing what tempo you want, you simply ask the film editor to put on a click at whatever interval you want.

"Then while conducting the orchestra, you wear headphones through which you can hear the clicks, and by keeping to that particular beat you 'lock in' the orchestra to the film. In that way you can write your score knowing that, even if something happens a third of the way or halfway through a bar, you can safely put in whatever musical effect you want, with absolute certainty that it will match the picture... that is how I did it with 'Yellow Submarine.' I wrote very precisely even with avant-garde and weird sounds like 'Sea Of Holes,' keeping to their bar-lines, knowing that the click track would ensure it fitted.

"'Yellow Submarine' saw some pretty strange experiments, too. In one sequence, in the 'Sea Of Monsters,' the yellow submarine is wandering around and all kinds of weird little things are crawling along the sea floor, some with three legs. One monster is enormous, without arms but with two long legs with wellington boots on, and in place of a nose there is a kind of long trumpet. This is a sucking-up monster-- when it sees the other little monsters, it uses it's trumpet to suck them up. Eventually it sucks up the yellow submarine, and finally gets hold of the corner of the (movie) screen and sucks that up too, until it all goes white. I felt, naturally, that scene required special 'sucking-up' music-- the question was how to do it with an orchestra!

"Suddenly, I hit upon the obvious-- backwards music. Music played backwards sounds very odd anyway, and a trombone or cymbal played backwards sounds just like a sucking-in noise. So I scored about 45 seconds for the orchestra to play, in such a way that the music would fit the picture when we played it backwards. The engineer working at CTS at that time was a great character named Jack Clegg, and when I explained the idea to him he said, 'Lovely! Great idea! I'll get the film turned 'round, and you record the music to the backward film. Then, when we turn the film 'round the right way, your music will be backwards.' It sounded like something from a 'Goon' script.

"Once all the music had been recorded, we dubbed it onto the film, and even then there was more messing about. In some places we cut out the music because sound-effects worked better-- in others we eliminated sound-effects because what I had written sounded better. Yet, in spite of everything, that score proved enormously successful and earned me a load of fan mail."

I love reading their comments on the songs.

Especially interesting about "Only A Northern Song." I always particularly liked that song!

Me too!  That was one of my very favorites from that movie.  I remember that I used to take acid and watch it and I would cry tears of joy during that song.  There's just something beautiful and moving about it.

50th anniversary of the Pennsylvania version of the Norman Yoder "Kids stare into the sun while on LSD and go blind" hoax being reported.  Yoder would be exposed as a fraud just days later, but we should never forget how irresponsible the press was (and still is) in reporting false, sensational LSD scare stories.  The fact that this made up story made it into any newspaper, much less papers across the country, in two different years, supposedly happening in California and then in Pennsylvania, is very telling.  It's an example of the media being the public relations arm of the government.  The fix was in.  The government wanted to demonize LSD and the media was more than happy to oblige.

I was actually staring into the sun for awhile last night, except my eyes were closed, it was changing colors rapidly and I was only a few feet away it seemed :grin:.

That was on DMT though, good thing they've banned that too, someone could get hurt! :rolleyes:

Still perfectly fine to get hammered at a bar you drove to though.

Yeah, back then the media was so eager to spread any negative information about LSD that they'd run anything. Not only because they could feel that it's what the government wanted, but mostly because bad news about acid sold papers. The worst part about it is that these completely made up stories have lived on as urban legends ever since, and the retraction of them was barely a blip on anyone's radar.

Anyway, today is the 50th anniversary of the Brotherhood Of Eternal Love being busted with 1,330 pounds of hash.
