The Beatles-forerunners of psychedelic sound and once again at the forefront with their latest album, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band-are the major tastemakers in hippiedom. (Beatle Paul McCartney admits to taking acid trips.) Yet another guru, Indian Sitar Virtuoso Ravi Shankar, who now has a burgeoning music school in Los Angeles, is dead set against drug use as an enhancement to music. He recently lectured the Monterey Pop Festival audience, chiding them for being stoned while listening...

How about the Virginia Woolves? There are also the Napoleonic Wars, Rasputin and the Chains, the Driving Stupid, Big Brother and the Holding Company, and Dow Jones and the Industrials...

To the uninitiated the soulscapes may look like nothing more than shards of colored glass or a heavy calligraphic scrawl. But to Ray's followers, who include Hindu gurus, Taoist philosophers and Jung disciples, the paintings are readily identifiable as portraits of James Joyce and Ray's French gardener, Monsieur Pierre Aubert...
