@bazzatheblue Quite. Donovan was born in Maryhill, Glasgow, the son of Winifred (née Phillips), a factory worker, and Donald Leitch, a Rolls Royce factory employee.
@dannypot420 I will reiterate for the profoundly moronic...Donovan took weed in the early 60s...he packed it in around 64/65. He was never on anything stronger, in fact, he was quite vocal on the matter. Just because he wrote beautiful and insightful lyrics to gloriously ethereal tunes don't don't assume he was on drugs. If you're able, bring me documentary evidence to the contrary. I look forward to seeing it. Peace.
@heehawluck1 common sense tells you if he was hangin with the beatles in the 60's, meditating with a yogi, the dude must have been takin at least something more mind expanding. But thats just my humble opinion. peace.
@heehawluck1 ok and? pot is just as bad as acid, any alteration of our state of minds through an outside source such as a manufactured chemical or a naturally occurring chemical is still wrong, there are enough chemicals in our body's controlling our every thought why introduce more?
@cybergothpunkfreak Was I claiming he was a saint? Like all humans (possibly excluding yourself) he made mistakes. My initial point, which you decided to attack, was that he was not an 'acid head'. Nothing more or less. OK??

@oldhippiefromthe60s English version of Dylan? When the f''uck did he become English? He was born and brought up in Glasgow. Even if you're English ..... get at least ONE THING right in your life. Pillock !!

@bigcheese1973 Donoban Leitch is married with 4 children. He was a leader of the "Flower Power" movement in the 60's. Most of his music was influenced by his wife. If you don't understand the counter-culture of the 60's, please do some research.
When it came out I used to wake with this song in my head in the mornings- it meant it was going to be a great day- Didn't know what it was- or how it got in my head- I was only 4

@TheMamaCat54 Oh hate, yes, hate is the way. This song got kids drying up banana peels and trying to smoke them! Just hilarious, me too. But it is all about something you probably use often. Hate being outed, eh?
as bill hicks said all the drugs that make us see what is truly what is real and who we really are are illegal yet the ones that numb our thoughts about whats happening in the worlds are not .Take some time think . Forget about your religion or beliefs for one moment and take a deep breath and im sure who you really are and what is happening in the world will look very different ,my thoughtsare we are creatures who have evolved and we continue to evolve ....so let us
Life is so much better when Mary pays a visit. Wouldn't you all agree? Donovan is so incredibly awesome man. The middle 60's was a very special time and place to be a part of. You could strike sparks anywhere. Peace and Love brother!
in the 70s, I remember listening to this, and the Grateful Dead, and Janis and Jimi at a friends house. there was plenty of pot to go around. We'd all congregate in his special room with beanbag furniture, one bright red light, and all that pot. When I got high, I would laugh hysterically, uncontrollably, at EVERYTHING. I couldnt move, I was laughing so hard. Those were the days... :)
WEED FOR THE WORLD ! PEACE :D
