I was at a friend's the other night and subjected to TV. I was amazed to
see a scene lifted from rave culture (U.S. style) in Xena, Warrior blah
blah blah. So it's making its effects felt even in middle America and on
TV.

And it's MDMA more than acid that is turning all the "kids" heads these
days (on both sides of the puddle).
