That was the "Amboy Dukes," not Ted. Ted got his anti-drug views from seeing what they did to his fellow bandmates. He was only 17 when that album came out, and he admits he was naive about the cover, as well as to the lyrics of "Journey to the Center of the Mind."
has Ted ever apologized for his using young women to please himself? I like what he is saying but without the admission of his own bad behavior, it is hypocritical.
I was about 15 when it came out and knew exactly what it meant as did everyone else in the generation Ted helped create. I bet you believe he's never caught a contact buzz from the massive amount of smoke blown his way during all his hippie era concerts either? Sometimes you wanna get high...
