What is the MIC?

  Military Industrial Complex I was sold on McGowan's piece until I read his work on the moon landings, which was utter raving nonsense. I was much less sold after that. But I think it's still fair to question the extent to which psychedelia and pro-peace (as opposed to anti-war) culture was deliberately seeded and manufactured - in the same way that abstract art and music were promoted to intellectuals by the US primarily for nationalistic and political reasons.

    It's always important to know when someone is out of their specialty. The researcher I practically worship on a particular subject once wrote a defence of something I personally know to be complete nonsense because I was there and know what happened. Dave's Laurel Canyon piece is meticulously researched and he's in his specialty. He's wrong about the moon landings.

      Doesn't matter how meticulously researched it is if the conclusions are just plain bonkers.
