John LILLY was an American psychoanalyst who lived in California from the late '60's until 1992 and was a "prominent member of the Californian counterculture" according to a Wikipedia article. He developed the sensory deprivation tank in the 1950's. Basically, it is supposed to cause hallucinogenic states of mind without the use of drugs, although Lilly did experiments where he took LSD and used the tank. According to a November, 1980 Esquire article, John Lennon owned one. Could this be the lily reference on the Junior Campbell "Second Time Around" album cover?
