jc4prez Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 No he wasn't a musician. But his discovery of LSD has had a huge impact on rock and roll music; like it or not. I'd say we could discuss some music that was heavily influenced by his discovery, but I suppose it comes up pretty frequently around here anyway. Albert Hofmann passed away at his home at 9am on Tuesday Apr 29, 2008 of a heart attack at the age of 102 http://www.erowid.org/culture/characters/hofmann_albert/ I'll post any news stories when they become available.
