Donovan becomes the first high-profile Rock star busted for drugs by the newly vigilant London drug squad. The singer and his girlfriend were taken to Marylebone Police Station, booked, fingerprinted, and given a cup of tea. When they were finally released around 4 AM, a police sergeant asked for an autograph for his daughter.

Good old limeland ... even in the pokey, you get a cuppa. LOL.

The 'Sunshine' song was inspired by his current wife. 30 years in Ireland.

Stuck in there though... last charting album was in 1976. Looks to still have some faithful fans, last compilation album 2021, new album 'Gaelia' in 2022, AND he's planning a concert series for 2025.
