ATTN Twin Peaks fans - Jerry Horne is a head and Prankster, Final Dossier spoilers within

Some selections from the new Mark Frost book; "Twin Peaks: The Final Dossier", in the section discussing Jerry Horne;

Anecdotally, it appears that motivation for his activism went well beyond the libertarian or fiduciary into the personal; by which I mean Jerry, according to a number of sources I’ve heard from, has been perpetually as high as an orbiting communications satellite since approximately 1969.

(For instance, just a small sample of the available confirming evidence: As a college student—Gonzaga, class of ’68—Jerry drove cross-country to attend Woodstock in his own private customized Airstream trailer. He appears briefly in the Oscar-winning documentary of that landmark concert, literally emerging from the Airstream with a bevy of nubile hippie chicks in a cloud of smoke. He was for years a known associate of renowned Oregon-based author Ken Kesey—One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest—a notorious libertine and sixties-style consciousness-raising advocate, as a member of his ragtag entourage of followers, known collectively as the Merry Pranksters. A title which, come to think of it, is as concise a distillation of Jerry Horne’s essence as I could hope to express. For example: Jerry once attempted to obtain a medical license for marijuana use—years before it became legal for that purpose—in order to treat his “addiction to marijuana.”)

and he’s also a fanatical audiophile. His collection of original and reissued vinyl literally fills a barn, one of a collection of deluxe private cabins he owns next to a small lake far up in the woods above Twin Peaks, where, legend has it, he once collaborated with famed Canadian rocker Neil Young to build a custom sound system that effectively turned two of these cabins into gigantic speakers, utilizing a woodshed as a subwoofer.

Jerry has been known to paddle a canoe out into the middle of the lake, activate the system by remote control, and crank up the volume—as the saying goes—to eleven. The resulting wall of sound from certain recordings is rumored to create whitecaps on the water and terrify most of the indigenous wildlife within a five-mile radius. (Dr. Jacoby was once heard to mention, on his pirate radio show, that one winter Jerry’s blasting of Miles Davis’s album Bitches Brew at top volume triggered a small avalanche.)

You know Jerry Horne probably saw some killer early PNW dead shows.
