The man with the big idea began life round a dinner table and a wine fuelled conversation regarding what possesses people to come up with mad ideas ...A very brief synopsis of the story could be described as The electric cool aid acid test meets Lock, stock and two smoking barrels[Guy Richie film]..The book takes a few lighthearted stabs at self importance and if it has any true value in it, it is that it, possibly, in a paradoxical way, tells the real story of the sixties.It seemed for years that this subject was airbrushed from history, emphasis being placed on what could be described as the silly froth of fashion and pop music..The times do, at last, appear to be changing and there is a global reawakening of real scientific interest in phsycedelic molecules and heightened awareness in general..It really could be our only hope and it may come in the nick of time...Above all though, this story is meant to be funny..Self importance is allways the enemy and humour is the antidote to the poison..
