   But I'm fine with the pre/post acid John. I'm way older   
   now than when one of my aunts "learned me the Beatles" in   
   what was probably 1964-ish, and have certainly been a very   
   different person and many points along the way. And some   
   of the differences certainly had degrees chemical influence   
   behind them.
