Hmmmm ... this IS true, since I once witnessed a friend losing his sanity
at a Nik Turner show (the incident is recounted in Monoshock's song,
"Hawkwind Show").  Apparently he was under the belief that one mr.
(apparently soon-to-be ms.) Genesis P-Orridge was using him to test
experimental psychedelic drugs on.  Fortunately, he re-discovered his
sanity the next day, after the mushrooms wore off.
