I took a Hit of Acid and Didn't Come Down
 

I took a Hit of Acid,
And Didn't Come Down,
I took a Hit of Acid,
And Now the Moons,
Circling Around,
I wanna Turn From Evil,
And Let my mind be sound,
I'm looking for love,
And It's nowhere to be found.

you finish this poem...

we know.

I have no problem believing that. 'Splains a lot...

JB, have you ever taken acid?

twice and that's the second song i wrote about it

Yeah. That figures. The overwhelming desire to write up your trip really starts to fade around month four of a bender :p

I think it's completely awesome that you have both 1.) been on a 4-month acid bender, and 2.) been elected to public office. UK > US in this regard.

I doubt I'd have been elected if any of my past indiscretions had come to light :p

There's not all that much press scrutiny of local councillors. From time to time there'll be a minor scandal or scoop, but they've invariably come from info leaked by the candidate's own party.

I didn't grow up around here. My youthful follies were left on the other side of the Pennines.

It's still awesome.

Our politicians are allowed to be atheists.
And gays.

Doesn't make them any better.

Well, that's two things they don't need to lie about anyway, helps keeps the dissembling manageable.

thing about acid.... if you're already kind of nuts, and you take it.... it makes you REALLY nuts. I've encountered many a tweaker that had no business messing around with that shit.

Acid taught me a very important lesson in life: don't take acid. It fucks with your sense of reality.

We used to refer to those people as "acid casualties." They might have been okay before they started, but it's impossible to tell now...
