I heard the 'on acid' thing twice today as a way of describing something that's a bit weird. I don't know why but I just hate it when people say that.
You know the thing I'm talking about: someone says something like "David Lynch. He's like Frank Capra ... on acid!" or "James Ellroy. He's like Mickey Spillaine ... on acid!" or one of the ones I heard today: "the Aphex Twin. He's like Kraftwerk ..." you get the picturte.
The annoying thing now is that, the more I think about it writing this post, the more "... on acid" comparisons I keep coming up with.
This is madness.
