MP3 of the Day

Actor Cary Grant died of a stroke at age 82 on this day in 1986. In a film career that spanned more than 30 years, Grant distinguished himself as a sophisticated and debonair leading man. He retired from making movies in 1966. Although he never won an Oscar, he received a special award from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in 1970 for his contribution to film. Many people don't know that Cary Grant was a advocate for LSD and took the drug more than sixty times. He once said: "All my life, I'd been searching for peace of mind. I'd explored yoga and hypnotism and made several attempts at mysticism. Nothing really seemed to give me what I wanted until I discovered this treatment. I hurt every woman I ever loved. I was an utter fake, a self-opinionated bore, a know-all who knew very little. I found I was hiding behind all kinds of defenses, hypocrisies and vanities. I had to get rid of them layer by layer. The moment when your conscious meets your subconscious is a hell of a wrench. With me there came a day when I saw the light."
