‘The 'Acid Test’ at London’s ICA was instigated by me and Channel 4’s Head of Events Claire Sefton along with Kesey and co. We got Jeff Dexter down and put on a light show with The Light Surgeons. Some serious hippies turned up from San Francisco with, they claimed, Owsley acid. A story in the Daily Express claimed that the event was promoting drug use and demanded Channel 4 carry out an inquiry – which was excellent publicity. In fact, Kesey was spiked at a private show in Scotland before the Edinburgh Festival He handled it but hated that it was done to him without his consent.’- Notes from David May
HOPE YOU ENJOYED THE TRIP
