Grin 'n' Spin: Millennial Yarns from the Holy Modal Rounders

Michael Simmons, L.A. Weekly, 2 September 1999

DURING THE early stages of a hallucinogenic drug trip, the voyager experiences giddiness and a vision of existence as a zany, absurdist cartoon. Eccentricity in the mannerisms of others is accentuated. Laughter is maniacal and uncontrollable. Life is shorn of its somber cast, and all appears as it truly is: one big, hilarious joke.
