I agree. He was the catalyst for great changes in my way of perceiving the world Everyone should read Illuminatus! (the exclamation is part of the title, though it still does excite me:)

In similar news, whether the makers know it or not, the movie "The Number 23" is coming out at an interesting time in reference to the passing of RAW to the netherworld. His comical/cosmic use of 23 as a recurring phenomenon in the universe was a tool to warn against the fervor that conspiracy hunting can instill.

I'm co-opting the release as the only mainstream homage that will ever be given the great liberator of the psyche.
