A term coined by Timothy Leary to describe the psychedelic experience. Leary explains it in his book Flashbacks as such
“Turn on’ meant go within to activate your neural and genetic equipment. Become sensitive to the many and various levels of consciousness and the specific triggers that engage them. Drugs were one way to accomplish this end. ‘Tune in’ meant interact harmoniously with the world around you – externalize, materialize, express your new internal perspectives. Drop out suggested an elective, selective, graceful process of detachment from involuntary or unconscious commitments. ‘Drop Out’ meant self-reliance, a discovery of one’s singularity, a commitment to mobility, choice, and change. Unhappily my explanations of this sequence of personal development were often misinterpreted to mean ‘Get stoned and abandon all constructive activity.”
thanks Jeanwah.....maybe I tuned in too many times.

Oh don't forget the marshmallow shoes and the Afro look.
It seems these days the only thing that moves a movement is MONEY. Money seems to drive what will or won't be done not necessarily protests in front of the White House. I've done my share of protests in DC and NYC and just seem like not much was accomplished other than a few noticing that we were pissed at let's say the war in Iraq.

A few months ago I signed a petition to a person in congress.
She actually sent me an email back?
It was something about Wal Mart and recycling. The kid that went door to door apparently got so many people to respond. The Bill was passed.
Here, there is that activism button on the top between Forum and Shop. Nothing there has interested me.
Jack Johnson has an activism site and I get emails.
A few months ago I ordered a key chain from ten club. I got this Global Citizen.org button in the same package. So I joined. I get loads of emails every week. The movements seem to be online these days.
I find it difficult to try to help everything. So I focus more on local things. It's the only way I feel I make an impact.
Twitter is a really easy way to start something if you are lazy.
The movement is digital.?
....the zero tolerance policy on discrimination.... So we all had to make peace and eat Chick-fil-A together. Turned out to be really fun.

The vitalogy fund seems the most interesting of the PJ activism
As board members of the foundation, the members of Pearl Jam allocate Vitalogy Foundation funds to a number of non-profit organizations that they personally select.
It's community based and 2 dollars of every ticket sold goes to those charities. Most are for children.

^This and the "bell bottoms."
At a time like this, humor is also most welcome!
And yes, fun is best part of any movement. That why we have soundtracks to life.
