Sunshine Superman- Donovan

Back


Sue Lyon came into Donovan's life at the end of 1965. This was two or three years before he met his "Jennifer Juniper" (Jenny Boyd). Lyon had starred in "Lolita" and "Night of the Iguana" before meeting Donovan. The couple dated until 1967 when Sue ended the relationship abruptly. Donovan had evidently slipped LSD in Sue's and her friend's drinking cup at a party. Sue described her trip as "frightening and disturbing" and she "felt her self-control disintegrating". After this incident Lyon never spoke to Donovan again until 1975. The two are now good friends and Sue attended Ione Skye's (Donovan's daughter) marriage to King Ad-Rock (with the Beastie Boys)

Seriously considering Donovan's conquests- Jenny Boyd, Linda Lawrence, Enid (I forgot her last name) and now this chick!- Donovan was one chick magnet.

I don't blame her for not speaking to him for doing such a despicable thing. As for chick magnet, he sure loved the groupies. some friends promoted one of his gigs.

exactly when did the peace movement "create peace". It is held by many that the peace protests caused the Vietnam conflict to continue (and lead to the belief that the U.S. was a paper tiger and not a serious deterent) Peace through strength. The Communist have "peace" by eliminating all that dare to oppose. Singing songs mybe fun and cathardic to the individual, but that's about it.

It worked for Ghandi.
Too bad Bush was "busy" during Vietnam perhaps your neo-con rhetoric might go over if it had any validity whatsoever.
Dems fight the wars while Republicans hide behind their pile of money. Reminds me of "Blood & Guts Cheney's" nonsense about Americans not having "the stomach for war"[ this horseshit from a guy with 9 student deferrments during Vietnam. Why don't ya sing about that Mister Neo-con? Huh?
