Tóm tắt

"Craig Smith was a striking success of the 1960s--a handsome musician whose songs were recorded by some of the biggest names in entertainment. But an unexpected turn of events plunged the golden boy into a terrifying darkness. Clean-cut Craig Smith became Matreiya Kali, a self-proclaimed psychedelic Messiah who released his poignant schizophrenic visions on an obscure double album before disappearing completely. Author Mike Stax reveals one of the strangest and most tragic stories of pop music in the 1960s and 70s"--Back cover.
