The Butterfly Ball

Excessive drug use during the '60s and '70s led to all sorts of execrable behaviour from addled musicians who were psychedelically deluded into thinking that making overblown rock operas was a really good idea. While the Beatles’ ill advised Magical Mystery Tour fiasco is likely the worst of these self-indulgent, extremely un-rock and roll epics, having members of Deep Purple convene to record a soundtrack for a kiddie animated cartoon narrated by Vincent Price should also be placed in the “ideas that sound best while tripping on acid” folder. But me, I’m still ready for my flashback. (from: http://www.boxofficeprophets.com/hyde/wishlist2003.asp)
