What does /his/ think of Alan Watts?

I like him. He sounds a little dated when he starts going off talking about the hippy generation or the beatniks... but other than that, he is fun to listen to.

I also like Jiddu Krishnamurti.

What's he all about?

Zen Buddhism

I'd say he's influenced by Zen Buddhism but he's not 100% an orthodox Zen Buddhist. He's influenced a lot by Hindu and Taoist thought, for example.

I agree, just Eastern Religions through a Western lens. It's interesting nonetheless. However, when he starts talking about science, he really sounds off his rocker. Not his fault really, science wasn't his area of interest or study.

Abandoned his kids and died an alcoholic.

He died of a heart attack in his sleep, if I'm not mistaken.
