Sunshine Superman- Donovan

Sue Lyon came into Donovan's life at the end of 1965. This was two or three years before he met his "Jennifer Juniper" (Jenny Boyd). Lyon had starred in "Lolita" and "Night of the Iguana" before meeting Donovan. The couple dated until 1967 when Sue ended the relationship abruptly. Donovan had evidently slipped LSD in Sue's and her friend's drinking cup at a party. Sue described her trip as "frightening and disturbing" and she "felt her self-control disintegrating". After this incident Lyon never spoke to Donovan again until 1975. The two are now good friends and Sue attended Ione Skye's (Donovan's daughter) marriage to King Ad-Rock (with the Beastie Boys)

Seriously considering Donovan's conquests- Jenny Boyd, Linda Lawrence, Enid (I forgot her last name) and now this chick!- Donovan was one chick magnet.

John,you are talking crap,the acid around these days is shite. I was around the people who got nicked in Operation Julie and they made ACID.....not the pale imitations of today . And one last thing ,bad trips are in the heads of the user.

your having a laugh john dropped on to sugar or orange or blue barrels 69 to 74 were the years I took it . loads of kids ended up in the local nut house . those little squares of paper were weak by comparison lost my love of it after that . to old to even think of it now but I regret nothing

[John Galt]

I have to disagree with you on this. I have done a lot of psychedelics and I have to say the Acid is stronger nowadays. Its like 2-3x stronger nowadays. Even from the time I used to take it in the 80's to the mid 90's it increased big time and not in a good way! More potency means more "Bad Trips" a lot of times! Last time i took LSD: March 1995.

[philip julian Dutton]

the LSD was so strong in the 60s it sent loads of people nuts no wonder she did not talk to him
