Fresh, impromptu, off-the-cuff thoughts and recollections are not in Woody’s repertoire, and that’s fine. No harm, no foul.
La Closerie de Lilas (171 Blvd. du Montparnasse, 75006) is due south of the Jardin du Luxembourg. Words and memories can’t express how wonderful it was to be youngish and bopping around in Paris back then…’65 wasn’t the very dawn of psychedelic experimentation (that happened when Cary Grant began tripping in ’58, or seven years earlier) but it was the same year that smooth-cat dentist John Riley covertly dosed George Harrison, John Lennon, Cynthia Lennon and Patti Boyd with LSD. And that was the springboard.
