Jeremiah Peabody's Polyunsaturated Quick-Dissolving Fast-Acting Pleasant-Tasting Green and Purple Pills

"Jeremiah Peabody's Polyunsaturated Quick-Dissolving Fast-Acting Pleasant-Tasting Green and Purple Pills" is a novelty song written and performed by Ray Stevens. It was released as a single in 1961 and became Stevens' first Hot 100 single, peaking at #35 in September.[1] Its lyrics tell of a fictional "wonder drug" that, when taken in a daily dose, can cure a myriad of ailments.

Yes, love Nick Drake, though I think the jury's still out as to if it was suicide or a tragic accident.

Yes, fair point - I don't think we will ever know whether it was intentional or just an accident.

At the risk of going off-topic, an ex-boss of mine knew Nick Drake well in his student days and travelled with him to Morocco one summer, supposedly "because you got the best pot there". I only found this out by accident (my boss made an incautious remark to a journalist which has ended up being disseminated far and wide) and I only had a couple of brief conversations about it with him, though I would like to ask him all kinds of things. We still bump into one another from time to time, so maybe I will, one day.

I often wonder if Nick Drake was an early example of heavy cannabis use leading to psychological problems. All in all, it's a sad story.
