At the very zenith of Psychedelia and Christianity stands the imposing figure of Brother John Rydgren, An ordained pastor of the American Lutheran Church, Rydgren laid out a heady trip of lysergic spiritual philosophy, Sincere, profound and yet deeply playful, Brother John's mesmeric baritone waxed poetic about the big questions - Love, Sex, Death, War and Drugs (and God's place in all this) - over a backbeat of fuzz guitars, sitars, avant choirs and go-go drums.
From 1966 onwards Brother John broadcast his widely syndicated radio show "Silhouette" across the U.S.A (and Vietnam), speaking directly to the Hippies, Heads, Jesus-Freaks and G.I.s in an engaging flower-power-patter.
