Of course. Yeah, sure. I'm a normal person that way. Before those LSD experiences and I just decided to let that all out, I used to make those drawings and tear them up and flush them down the toilet. Oh, this is terrible. What's wrong with you? Why, you know? And also the... As I started doing it for publication, then the floodgates opened.

The crack just got wider and wider until I just let it all out. Let it all out there, all the dark side of myself. It's all out there. I have less of that impulse now. I think I got out of my system a lot of it.

Right, Mr. Cool Guy. It was very disorienting because I was quite young. I was only, like, 25, 26 when all that happened originally. And it was both, you know, thrilling to my ego, I had a big ego, but also very confusing and scary even because suddenly...

This whole element of people that I'd never, ever had any dealings with before were suddenly there, interested in me, wanting to hustle me, wanting this and that, everything. Sign me to a five-year exclusive contract, da-da-da-da. These people are trying to cash in on the hippie culture and the youth movement and make money off it. I was so young, I didn't know how to deal with all that.

But at the same time, it made me more attractive to women, so that part of it was nice. Yeah. It was. Before that, I was like this, you know, nerd that at a party no woman even noticed.

Well, I guess, you know, the elements of that culture, like the music and the stylistic stuff, no, I didn't identify with that at all. I identified with some of the values, like the political values, some of like the Eastern religious stuff that people were into. I was attracted to that. And, you know, the drug thing, the psychedelic drugs, I was into that part of it.
