This is pretty dang cool gotta admit...
"The packed hall takes against the young poet as he begins to read 'The Spider' and is interrupted by Dutch writer Simon Vinkenoog, high on mescalin,[2] who chants "Love, love!" when the crowd becomes restless.[3] It was hard for Fainlight to continue reading after this. The occasion upset him deeply,[2] though was typical of various crises and outrages in a troubled life."

The "Love! love!,love!" interruption by Simon Vinkenoog is now a pivotal aspect of this film. However, at the time people there said it completely threw poor Harry Fainlight, who lost his confidence...
