Today in psychedelic history (01/17) * 3

  • 1966:  The 13th Floor Elevators release their debut single "You're Gonna Miss Me"




Quote:

"You're Gonna Miss Me" is a song by the American psychedelic rock band the 13th Floor Elevators, written by Roky Erickson, and released as the group's debut single on Contact Records, on January 17, 1966. It was reissued nationally on International Artists, in May 1966 (see 1966 in music). Musically inspired by traditional jug and R&B music with the group's own experimentation, "You're Gonna Miss Me", along with its Stacy Sutherland and Tommy Hall-penned B-side, "Tried to Hide", was influential in developing psychedelic rock, garage rock, and was one of the earliest rock compositions to utilize the electric jug. Accordingly, critics often cite "You're Gonna Miss Me" as a bona fide garage rock song, as well as a classic of the counterculture era.

"You're Gonna Miss Me" reached number 55 on the Billboard Hot 100, making it the 13th Floor Elevators' only single to chart nationally. The failure of the song to achieve a higher chart listing is contributed to poor distribution by a disestablished record label. In addition, the band was prevented from consistently touring during their parole for possession of marijuana. The song was also included as a track on their debut album, The Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators, in November 1966.

Release

"You're Gonna Miss Me" was released on January 17, 1966 on Bynum's newly established Contact Records (the name eluding to the "contact high" the music created), reaching number two in Austin, Texas. Following the single's release, the 13th Floor Elevators were drawing sold-out audiences as advertised psychedelic music artists on a weekly basis, but also attracted the attention of the authorities. This resulted in the band being busted for possession of marijuana, a report which circulated across Texas's music underground. Additionally, the group was barred from traveling outside the state or from performing at their regular venues the Jade Room and the Wig. The 13th Floor Elevators countered by having their debut at the new venue, the New Orleans, which was broadcast live on KAZZ-FM radio, and perversely their outlaw status won them a larger audience.

In May 1966, the group negotiated a contract with International Artists to distribute "You're Gonna Miss Me" nationwide. The reissue peaked at number 55 on the Billboard Hot 100, on October 9, 1966 and spent two months on the charts. As a consequence of poor distribution, label confusion between International Artists, Contact Records, and Hanna-Barbara Records, and excessive bootlegging, the single failed to achieve a higher positioning nationally. Nonetheless, "You're Gonna Miss Me" managed to reach the Top 10 regionally in Miami, Dallas, Detroit, and San Francisco. At the height of their popularity, the 13th Floor Elevators performed the tune on Dick Clark's American Bandstand on October 29, 1966. Infamously, prior to their act, Clark asked who the head of the group was to which Hall replied, "We're all heads!"

In November 1966, "You're Gonna Miss Me" was featured as the opening track to the 13th Floor Elevators' debut album, The Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators. The song later appeared on their third album, Live, and the 1988 live album Live! I've Seen Your Face Before. It is also included on Nuggets: Original Artyfacts from the First Psychedelic Era, 1965–1968, The Collection, The Psychedelic World of the 13th Floor Elevators, and The Very Best of the 13th Floor Elevators Going Up, among others. The Spades' original version is found on Trash Box.

  • 1973:  Timothy Leary is arrested in Afghanistan




Quote:

January 17, 1973 - Leary arrested in Afghanistan


(http://www.levity.com)




In 1971, the couple fled to Switzerland, "where they were sheltered and effectively imprisoned by a large-living arms dealer, Michel Hauchard, who claimed he had an 'obligation as a gentleman to protect philosophers,' but mostly had a film deal in mind."  In 1972, President Richard Nixon's attorney general, John Mitchell, persuaded the Swiss government to imprison Leary, which it did for a month, but the Swiss refused to extradite him back to the U.S. In that same year, Leary and Rosemary separated. Leary became involved with Swiss-born British socialite Joanna Harcourt-Smith, a stepdaughter of financier Árpád Plesch. Leary "married" Harcourt-Smith at a hotel two weeks after they were first introduced; she used his surname until their breakup in early 1977. They traveled to Vienna, then Beirut and finally went to Kabul, Afghanistan, in 1973. "Afghanistan had no extradition treaty with the United States, but this stricture did not apply to American airliners," Luc Sante wrote in a review of a biography of Leary.  That interpretation of the law was used by U.S. authorities to capture the fugitive. "Before Leary could deplane, he was arrested by an agent of the federal Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs."

At a layover in the United Kingdom, as Leary was being flown back to the United States, he requested political asylum from Her Majesty's Government, but to no avail. He was then held on five million dollars bail ($21.5 mil. in 2006). President Richard Nixon had earlier labeled him "the most dangerous man in America."  The judge at his remand hearing remarked, "If he is allowed to travel freely, he will speak publicly and spread his ideas."  Facing a total of 95 years in prison, Leary hired criminal defense attorney Bruce Margolin and was put into solitary confinement in Folsom Prison, California.

It's quotes like that which prove how dangerous Leary was to the establishment and how much our government hates true decent.

Indeed.  Here's a little bit about Leary's capture in Afghanistan by his former wife, Joanna Harcourt-Smith, who was with him when he was nabbed.

The more I learn about the guy the more I dislike him. Some sort of self obsorbed media guru, not an LSD guru (imo). I don't consider him shit when you compare him to Sands, Shulgin, Owsley, Pickard and Hardison. Amongst others. I read this book called Orange Sunshine. In the book it quoted Leary saying to a bus passenger next to him saying "relax, you are sitting next to one of the most evolved characters on the planet" Haha gimme a fuckin break.

Defs.

To be honest, i don't like timothy leary at all. His arrogance was probably his downfall.

But he did his part.

Sounds like you're looking for an excuse not to like him.  Really, you owe him a debt of gratitude, because he was a warrior on the front lines in the battle for human consciousness.  I mean, if nothing else, you should like him because he had the Marijuana Tax Act overturned.  That's more than anyone else has ever accomplished in the fight to legalize marijuana.

Well you've got to give the man credit.

But personally i think he was an arrogant jerk. Maybe he was arrogant for good reason. But nonetheless. Doesn't LSD teach us otherwise.

All of our heroes had their faults.  They were human beings.  It seems that with Leary, some people focus way too much on his short comings and forget about the great things he did.  I don't know if it's because his ideas are too heavy or threatening to people or what, but some people will use any excuse to hate him.  I mean CounterCulturest hates him because someone heard that he said something arrogant to someone on a bus.  Come on man!  :facepalm:

Fucking stay in your place. Don't say I hate the guy when I didn't even say that. And no, I'm not looking for an excuse to hate him. I coudn't  care less about the guy. Not even enough to hate him. And I'm not seeking out his faults, just simply putting two and two together. If it wasn't him, I think it would have been someone else. Maybe someone better. Sorry, but your god (tim leary)just isn't all that. I have much more gratitude for the people who put their lives and freedom on the line for the spread of psychedelia. Not some "arrogant" guy as you mentiond who dropped acid and tried to convince people he had the right answer. And you're totally right about the marijuana tax act. That, I give him credit for. And no, it wasn't more than anything anyone ever else did. Ever heard of NORML ? Quit suckin learyz wang then we will talk mang.

I feel like Leary had a really good start and all the tools to help make a legitimate case for psychedelics and completely flipped a bitch and fucked himself and psychedelic history... he's the reason all our favorite shit is schedule 1 now

Do you think that LSD would have flown under the government and the Controlled Substances Act's radar if it wasn't for Leary? I don't buy it. It might have been legal a few more months at best without Leary.

Exactly. 

And although I love them all very much, Ken Kesey's Merry Pranksters and Owsley Stanley did just at least as much harm as Leary did to the movement by turning on everyone all over the country.  Kesey turned on more people than Leary, the psycho-therapeutic community and the CIA combined.  He made a complete spectacle of the thing.  Out in public for the whole world to see.  But nobody recognizes Kesey's role in LSD's downfall because they all just watched a TV show or two about LSD, which lay the blame, squarely and unfairly on Leary.  I'm sure it pleases the government to no end, that misinformed people on the internet drag Leary's name through the mud.

I think he's amazing. The most brilliant people of all time were self-absorbed. And really, I see no problem at all. I bet Timothy Leary was a very generous man, modestly proud. besides, why would anyone live not loving themselves? I think it's better to live like that than just thinking you're ordinary and not special (while not putting yourself above others).
