Bobby Gillespie of Primal Scream
We wanna be free to do what we wanna do.
What does that involve?
Via Belfast Telegraph:
Bobby said that he had earlier been “rolling about” in a forest “all day, naked” before pals dressed him and they headed into East Kilbride, near his native Glasgow.
He stated: “Through the heat haze of the late afternoon and my skewed, goggle-eyed acid vision I saw the sight of an Orange pipe and drum band marching slowly up the road towards where us acid-stragglers were stood on the pavement.
“I swear that the pipe band and Lodge members morphed into an enormous creature resembling a huge orange slug, leaving a trail of greasy orange slime behind them.”
Gulp.
Rocker on acid trip thought Orange band was giant slug (Belfast Telegraph)
haha, good man Bobby! :)
The thing I found most interesting about dropping acid was that afterwards, one felt as if one had opened certain doors, yes, yes, the doors of perception & having done so, there was no particular need to ever do it again.
Well, maybe just once more.
And here’s a young Bobby on drums with the Jesus and Mary Chain

Bobby has tales to tell.
I see Primal Scream playing Fairview Park in June !
Should be a lark …
What, what, what?
– say that again…
Make it true.
I took me son to see Primal Scream in the Olympia a few years ago. He said it wasn’t as bad as he thought it was going to be. Bo Ningen were playing support.
Less than two years later he bunked off before Lee Scratch Perry hit the stage in Whelans while I was in the jacks.
We haven’t spoken since. We haven’t seen each other.

Would you blame him..?
