Heard Ray Davies interviewed years ago, perhaps on Fresh Air.
The Kinks had just played in New York, and someone had dosed the brothers with LSD without them knowing it. They did not play a good show, and Davies spent the night wandering the streets.
He ended up in a Midtown Automat in the very early morning, thoroughly distraught, and ended up telling a guy next to him about how he'd been at the top and now how low he felt.
The guy empathized with him. He knew the feeling.
It was Joe Frazier.
