By 1968, the psychedelic movement had seeped into every corner of pop culture - music, film, art, and even cartoons. One of the strangest and most delightful examples was “Psychedelic Pink”, the 39th episode of the Pink Panther series.

It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of Bobby Weir. We send him off the way he sent so many of us on our way: with a farewell that isn’t an ending, but a blessing.  A reward for a life worth livin'. https://t.co/2qdBbh80v1

Get a job, save your money, listen to Jane
Everybody knows umbrellas cost more in the rain
And all the news is bad
Is there any other kind?
Everybody’s talking at the same time
