Donovan had Sue Lyon (Stanley Kubrick’s Lolita) for a girlfriend, but she dumped him when he gave her LSD without her knowledge or permission. Pretty dumb.
As I recall, after Donovan recorded ‘Atlantis’ (Way down below the ocean), he spent some time in a funny farm because they determined he was a little too happy for this world. It was probably due to drugs.
1) I agree that "I've Never Been To Me" is loathsome in ways that are difficult to fully convey in words.
2) Everyone seems to have overlooked the iconic 1971 hit "Signs" by the Five Man Electrical Band.
3) On the other end of the spectrum, I don't see any mention of Gilbert O'Sullivan's wretched "Alone Again, Naturally."
4) If you liked Marmalade's "Reflections" you will want to see this.
