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.

Rumor has it none other than Jimmy Page was the guitarist on this track. That's his solo in the middle of the song.If you listen very carefully before the fade,you'll hear Donovan say something like"don't...don't" as Page takes yet another solo.

Gefrin Weebly - Enjoying the tunes. Listening to "Last Summer". Cool sounds, man.
I've got some tunes up at Punk New Wave Murray.
I like your finger picking style on "Not My Time". Where do you live? In the UK somewhere? Great countryside in your videos. :)
My favorite would have to be "Nobody Loves Me" with everybody running away from you. That one resonates with me, as another hairy man. :)

Awesome song and Sue Lyon was, and is, the only 'Lolita'. I wish some of you posters would try and simply be kind. Try it and see, it carries on. Peace out!!!
