Hanging with Robert Anton Wilson and his battle with stage fright
Backstage, I met Robert Rance on Wilson and was surprised to see him smoking cigarettes. He confides in me about his stage fright and how he copes with it. Despite his fame, he was abused in his childhood, which left lasting imprints. However, he has managed to heal himself through unconventional methods like acid, magic, and reading Nietzsche. Interestingly, recent medical studies are supporting the benefits of LSD for depression and anxiety.
