The idea is to fill Facebook with music, breaking the monotony of selfies and sensationalism. If you like this post you will be assigned a letter which begins the name of a musician, band or artist that you will post on your timeline with this. First 26 get a letter. I was assigned the letter D - and its pretty sunny this morning - So - Sunshine Superman by Donovan. Donovan often took his inspiration from lyrics from his conquests and relationships. Sunshine Superman relates to Sue Lyon, and actress he dated in 1965. Sue Lyon came into Donovans life at the end of 1965. This was two or three years before he met his Jennifer Juniper (Jenny Boyd). Lyon had starred in Lolita and Night of the Iguana before meeting Donovan. The couple dated until 1967 when Sue ended the relationship abruptly. Donovan had evidently slipped LSD in Sues and her friends drinking cup at a party. Sue described her trip as frightening and disturbing and she felt her self-control disintegrating. After this incident Lyon never spoke to Donovan again until 1975. The two are now good friends and Sue attended Ione Skyes (Donovans daughter) marriage to King Ad-Rock (with the Beastie Boys)
