Happiest of posthumous birthdays to Albert Hofmann!
According to this article from Scientific American, the Swiss chemist was the first to synthesize and ingest LSD, tripping his face off on the compound while biking through the streets of Basel back in the 1940s.
In his honor, here's toad the wet sprocket front man Glen Phillips, with his 2006 cover of Huey Lewis and the News' 1983 dance club chart topper "I Want a New Drug."
For a cover of toad the wet sprocket, The Double Denim's version of "Walk on the Ocean" can be found here.
For another Huey Lewis cover, Lovers League's version of "Hip to be Square" can be found here.
