Dave can't, so I'll quote the most recent station newsletter:

"Dave's other improv band, Time Trout plays a very WFMU-centric show at the same venue [Young Ethel's in Park Slope, BK, NY] on Fri, July 26th. Also on the bill will be Richard Papiercuts (a.k.a. Acapulco Rodriguez) and the world premiere of DJ Sheila B.'s new prog group ALÂN."

I saw Nektar at the Paladium. I was so stoned, engrossed & freaked out from the light show. A couple I was with left halfway through because they needed to compose themselves.
My friend walked right into a window in the lobby.
To me, Nektar were fantastic.I believe It was asponsored by WNEW circa '74

...but i also knew someone in the early '80s who was prescribed various shades of red, fuschia, or "salmon" colored glasses for what i think was a pineal disorder. it was considered "experimental" or even "quackery" but she said it made the difference between sanity or insanity.
it makes sense to me (having *informally* studied colour therapy) as red is an exciting color...when altering the vision in such a way - or even painting a bedroom red, sometimes, it becomes cathartic.
like a relief so it doesn't have to be expressed in more potentially harmful ways.
