[Herb] Caen genuinely loved the kaleidoscope scenes at the Fillmore and Winterland. And he was a big fan of the [Jefferson] Airplane, even
after an unfortunate incident at the band's Fulton Street mansion,
across from Golden Gate Park. Caen and his young third wife, Maria
Theresa, were among the guests one night in the fall of 1968 for a
decadent banquet at the Airplane's black-painted Greek Revival mansion.
The feast included a suckling pig (complete with apple in mouth) and a punchbowl liberally spiked with LSD. During the evening, as psychedelic
wizard Owsley Stanley repeatedly blared the Beatles' new release, "Hey,
Jude," throughout the wired mansions multitude of speakers, a blissfully unaware Maria Theresa dipped her cup into the punch bowl several times
and was soon weeping uncontrollably about the radiant beauty she felt
all around her.
