Keen fan of Dangerous Minds that I am, this is a disappointingly poor profile of the Licorice McKechnie story and tells us nothing new.
a few paragraphs from author Will Howard and odd uses of terminology, referring to her as “starlet” (sic) and describing her contribution as a member of The Incredible String Band as “support” when she was clearly a full member of the band from 1968 - 1974!
Yes she joined Scientology and the guys flirted with this so called ‘religion' too and yet it is only Licorice who seems to have stayed the course (it is one centred on training in control of emotional responses via E-Meter usage until one becomes ‘clear’) and this may (or may not) have to do with her lack of social or media profile and also her ultimate disappearance
The myth has it that she was last seen walking off into the desert is a romantic notion and yet leads us ultimately nowhere. There have been reports since and this are easily verified and well documented else where so this cursory look at her disappearance tells us nothing we didn’t already know
The ‘dangerous mind’ here is Lafayette Ron Hubbard former Sc-Fi pulp fiction writer author of Dianetics and found of the batshit crazy thought control system Scientology and the connection is worthy of more serious exploration than this - A.S.
