Worth Reading

[Jeremy Osner]

Plenty of GR-tinged riffs in Tim Page's LSD memory,

-- a sample:

                The occasion was a production by the happening artiste
                 Jean Jaques Lebel of Picasso's only play, Désire
attrappé
                 par la coeu ("Desire caught by the tail"), which was
                 performed only once before, in the forties on
                 French Resistance radio by all the luminaries of
                 underground Paris. This time, Taylor Mead and Ultra
                 Violet put it together with strippers from the Folies
                 Bergère, Julian Beck and Judith Molina's Living Theater
(an
                 American avant-garde troupe who'd done Mysteries in
                 Smaller Pieces), and music by the Soft Machine. Mike
                 Rutledge (who started the Softies) arrived from
Switzerland
                 with an old-fashioned fluted apothecary bottle with a
glass
                 stopper full of liquid Sandoz LSD-25. It was like
carrying
                 nitroglycerin around.
