Bob Kaufmann - A Trip Thru A Blown Mind 1967

Bob Kaufmann	Birth name aka Dr Bob Kaufmann	Boston, Massachusetts, USA
Apr 24 1921 - Dec 21 2010 age 89	Official Site	Wikipedia

This is an obscure comedy album which was released on Lee Hazlewood’s LHI label in 1967.
Kaufmann was also a writer for several television comedies including the Bob Newhart Show.

Many collectors pass this off as psychedelic, and has gained interest because of the album’s title, but it’s actually skits about such topics as football, the weather, pollution and politics. The album is a precursor to what George Carlin would master in the early seventies, and some of the phrasing will remind some of Lenny Bruce. 

In 1970, at the age of 48, Kaufmann received his M.Div. from Starr King School. He earned a Ph.D. in Psychology from United States International University in 1975.

He was called to the Emerson Unitarian Church in Canoga Park, CA, serving from 1969 to 1973, and was ordained there in 1970. In 1973, he was called to the Throop UU Church in Pasadena, CA, serving until 1985.

Prior to studying for the ministry, Dr. Kaufmann worked in a variety of professions – business, finance, journalism, television, public relations, and construction. He wrote for the Alan Young Show.”

His poetry has appeared in several anthologies and recently he self-published “I Love You, I Think, Or I Would If I Knew What It Meant: 27 Chapters of Wit & Wisdom on Life, Laughter, and Love.”  Source: redtelephone
