Timothy Learys Famous phrase of "Turn on, Tune in, Drop out!"

Timothy Leary is well known for his experimental useage of the drug LSD, for which he created the phrase "Turn on, Tune in, Drop out". Like Marilyn Monroe he was a symbol of the 60s, but more within the counterculture world, especially in the drug taking of Psychedelics. He believed that taking these mind bending chemicals people will make people embrace the changing times. The image that is witnessed within the phrase (above) does go hand in hand with the message, including the waving, disstorted "trippy" feel of the whole picture. This type of pattern is a symbolic connection with powerful hallucinogen drugs, which is still noted in the modern day.
