Peter Green wasn't the only LSD casualty in the music world.

I grew up not far from Detroit,
which gave us Funkadelic in the '60's and early '70's
(they then morphed into Parliament/Funkadelic).

They had a guitarist named Tawl Ross, if memory serves.
Don't know whether or not he has died yet.
But fellow band members recall witnessing the evening
when he started off his intake
with some form of meth or other amphetamine --
a LOT of it --
and then he took the acid ... as did his fellow band members ...

I recall reading the sad story of the communal "trip" they took at that point.
Tawl Ross was talking to his mother,
who had died years earlier;
the witness reported, "And because I was tripping as well,
I could see her and hear her myself ... "

well, the witness evidently came back to sobriety.
But Ross was a shell of a human from then forward,
and was reportedly being cared for
by his relatives, a basket case.


... but he turned up in North Carolina in the 1990's.
And there is no obituary ... still alive in some form.
