| One of their better ones...aboout drugs. More specifically psychedelic drugs aka LSD. Timothy Leary was actually psychologist, and he campaigned for the legal use of LSD drugs. Thats a lesson for you kids, read, I remembered this from reading a book long ago. Anyways thye are kind of using his name as a metophor for the drug. | |

| Possibly, this could be the Moodys theme song. People who dont "get" the Moody Blues music dont realize that they were mostly making background music for LSD trips. At least they were in the late 60s to early 70s. I love the whole Search of the Lost Chord album, its got that "lost innocence of the 60s" feel,although the sound quality of the original LP wasnt too good. I havnt seen a remastered version, but I will look out for it. | |

| I belive this song is the Moody Blues way of saying that Timothy Leary had the right idea. "He's not dead, he's outside looking in" could mean, he's not a lost cause (dead) he understands the world (outside looking in). Not Known Fact: Mr. Leary experemented on collage students with LSD in small doses, and nobody had a negative reaction. Further more, some of them had their lives changed for the better! THINK ABOUT IT! | |

| You are all correct. I was a teenager when the Moodies were a hip, psychedelic (even undergound) band. In the late 60s, if you were smoking good hash or dropping acid you listened to some mix of Jefferson Airplane, Grateful Dead, Pink Floyd (pre-Dark Side of the Moon) AND THE MOODY BLUES!! The Moodies, and Mike Pinder in particular, were "inner-nauts" who experimented with Eastern religion, meditation and (IMO) LSD. BTW, not that many people know this but the Moodies (Mike Pinder, actually) wrote another song about Tim Leary: "When You're a Free Man" on Seventh Sojourn. | |
