“

It's an absolutely true story," Kaylan said. "It was our first trip to London, and we met Graham Nash, Donovan, The Rolling Stones, and The Beatles—who played us Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band before it was released—all on the same night! I wound up eating dinner with Hendrix at 4 a.m. and getting violently ill and puking all over his red velvet suit!^[1]
