Worth a run through for the history, I suppose, and stories from some of the better known names of the period (Robert Anton Wilson, Hunter Thompson, Mark Mothersbaugh, Wavy Gravy, etc...)

Weirdo libertine political rag from the 60s-70s, kind of brilliant, kind of annoying, kind of like Jello Biafra's spoken word.
