Description: TURN ON, TUNE IN, DROP OUT Timothy Leary 60's Slogan A 1.25" pinback button with the classic 60's phrase 'Turn on, tune in, drop out.' "Turn on, tune in, drop out" is a counterculture-era phrase popularized by Timothy Leary in 1966. It was also the title of his spoken word album. On this lengthy album, Leary can be heard speaking in a monotone soft voice on his views about the world and humanity, describing nature, Indian symbols, "the meaning of inner life", the LSD experience, peace, and many other issues. In a 1988 interview, Leary said the slogan was "given to him" by Marshall McLuhan during a lunch in New York City. The phrase was used by Leary in a speech he delivered at the opening of a press conference in New York City on September 19, 1966. It urged people to embrace cultural changes through the use of psychedelics by detaching from the existing conventions and hierarchies in society. It was also the motto of his League for Spiritual Discovery. By the early 1980s, while on a speaking tour with G. Gordon Liddy, the phrase had transformed to "turn on, tune in, take over." During his last decade, Leary proclaimed the "PC is the LSD of the 1990s" and re-worked the phrase into "turn on, boot up, jack in" to suggest joining the cyberdelic counterculture.
