acid trip

Where I land in the Trump acid trip, unfortunately, is to take the experience as it comes, and to view it as exceptionally dangerous.

The subtitle of “Robeson” is, in fact, “Unpacking a Classical Americana Electro-Gospel Acid Trip.”

“Let it Shine” was the thrill of a lifetime, the actual embodiment in song of an acid trip, or maybe enlightenment.

Only after reaching that height could he then find the grace to to make “Old Man River,” sung as a new hymn of somber inspiration, his epilogue, the acid trip’s final, meaningful passage.

They’ve been described as something akin to an acid trip, but I’d argue they’re more like a wake-up call, a gentle knock on the head that says we should workout our imaginations as much as we do our bodies.
