yes, in my more paranoid moments I used to wonder if
he too wasn't a provocateur, co-opting the drug scene and turning
it away from gentle visions to hellion romping...definitely it worked
in my case...

had a roommate who used to quote that "bad craziness" line...
we had this wild night one time where we had some Colombian
and Jim Beam and took a cab from Ann Arbor
to Detroit Metro and flew to Lansing to visit a friend  -
this was 1974, the whole thing was maybe 40 bucks -
and I wound up getting knocked out for awhile in a fistfight and
somehow we ended up
at this other friend's farm in Lake Orion and he was crashed out on the
couch in the barn so my other friend lit a firecracker to wake him up...
the first thing he said when he woke up was, "bad craziness"...
