          He got a flat tire once in Duncan, Idaho. It was the early 60’s so things got freaky fast when he was picked up by a colorfully painted bus . . .

          Let’s just say the memories will never die.

      Frank Herbert is what happens when a genius writer takes too much shrooms while studying dunes. Like that is literally what happened.

        Calling him a genius writer is probably being a bit too generous, what with all the beefswellings and all that
