Anybody ever see this?

I saw it last night and it blew me away.

Especially the soundtrack - Indian Jazzy beats...

It was a tripped out autobiographical movie about a guys
struggle to get off alcoholism and drug abuse. mid 60's, this dude
apparently
hung out with all the heads - Allen Ginsburg, William Burroughs, Ornette
Coleman, and Ravi Shankar all appear in the film. Beautiful integration of
psychedelia, Indian music, and jazz on the soundtrack... fucking amazing
imagery, this movie really speaks to me...
It really comes to the whole dialogue of this-world vs. the Spiritual from a
New York perspective. I dont know when the last time (if ever) that I saw
such an honest and stunning translation of personal emotion into film...

highly recommended!
