Comments on: Ibiza in the beatnik & hippie eras http://stewarthomesociety.org/blog/archives/1661 Better Living Thru Chemistry Wed, 08 Feb 2012 01:38:12 +0000 hourly 1 By: mistertrippy http://stewarthomesociety.org/blog/archives/1661/comment-page-1#comment-3436 mistertrippy Sun, 21 Jun 2009 10:25:45 +0000 http://stewarthomesociety.org/blog/?p=1661#comment-3436 I haven't read your book, but I've seen your essay in "Rave Culture and Religion" edited by Graham St. John. As a result I'm not sure if you deal with the Ibiza to India links that I'm aware of back in the sixties. Certainly the people my mother hung out with in Ibiza (and my mother herself) also spent extended periods of time in both India and specifically Goa. So what you describe as happening more recently is already very familiar to me from my mother's 1960s history. I haven't put much about my mother's time in India online - just something about her stop-over in Kabul working as a Go Go dancer in a hotel bar on the way to India. Damien Enright who I mention in this blog, not only has the piece I've linked to about Ibiza, but also one on the same site about going to Afghanistan.

It fully resonates with my book "Global Nomads" about countercultural expatriates in Ibiza and India. Currently in hardback, it should be available in a more affordable paperback by mid 2009 (Routledge Press). Before the beatniks there were the surrealists on the island since 1930s. A minor contemporary remark: Manumission moved to the old quarry in San Antoni in 2008, and became "Ibiza Rocks".

But are you up on Terry Taylor, the first person to mention LSD in a British novel? If not, please do check out: http://www.stewarthomesociety.org/sex/baronscourt.htm Helen, great tips on Waldman.

In Formentera. You probably already know this though. Apparently two of the tracks on Tibetan Bells were recorded on Formentera in the same studio as "The Pink Floyd"- as they're credited in MORE - used to record Ibiza Bar etc for the soundtrack. Waldman's contribution to Evergreen Review was a few nudes he took on Formentera. Well, on my travels today I found out that Waldman also did the album portrait photography for Tibetan Bells.

I think he was in Alan Aldridge's circle in London for a time, if it's the same guy. The Sal identity remains a mystery. The vague description you give fits too many potential "Sal"s...
