Things You Didnt Know About Sherman Hemsley

Jeff Simmermon says, "Apparently [recently-departed] Sherman Hemsley was a serious acid/psych-rock fiend and had an LSD lab in his basement." From an interview with Daevid Allen of Soft Machine and Gong, which appeared in Magnet mag:

"Information technology was 1978 or 1979, and Sherman Hemsley kept ringing me upwards. I didn't know him from a bar of lather because we didn't accept idiot box in Spain (where I was living). He called me from Hollywood maxim, 'I'1000 i of your biggest fans and I'm going to fly you hither and put flying teapots all up and down the Sunset Strip.' I idea, 'This guy is a lunatic.' He kept information technology up and then I said, 'Listen, can you lot get us tickets to 50.A. via Jamaica? I want to go in that location to make a reggae track and take a honeymoon with my new girlfriend.' He said, 'Sure! I'll get you 2 tickets.'

I thought, 'Well, even if he's a nut case at least he's coming up with the goodies.' The tickets arrived and nosotros had this great honeymoon in Jamaica. And so nosotros caught the aeroplane beyond to L.A. Nosotros had heard Sherman was a big star, but we didn't know the details. Coming downwardly the corridor from the plane, I see this black guy with a whole agglomeration of people running afterward him trying to go autographs. Anyway, nosotros get into this stretch limousine with Sherman and immediately in that location's a big joint being passed effectually. I say, 'Sorry man, I don't smoke.' Sherman says, 'You lot don't smoke and you're from Gong?'

Inside the front door of Sherman's house was a sign saying, 'Don't respond the door because it might be the man.' In that location were two Puerto Ricans that had a LSD laboratory in his basement, so they were really paranoid. They also had little crack/freebase depots on every flooring. So Sherman says, 'Come on upstairs and I'll show you the Flying Teapot room.' Sherman was very sugariness but was surrounded past these really crazy people.
