According to Bernie Connor, who was mates with Julian Cope and sold T-shirts on the tour December 1981, Courtney passed the monitor engineer a note for Julian. “Are you married?” it said.

“So Courtney comes back to the hotel and gravitates a little closer to Julian with every passing minute.”

"At Bailey's Hotel, a party was in full swing in Kev and Jamie's room [with The Edge and Bono's girlfriends). A young girl with a dark feather cut sat in the biggest armchair, dispensing pills to everyone. She said she was 16 and her father was a road manager for The Grateful Dead... Dave Balfe sat, eyes blazing, fully upright on the bed and told me that I must try the Adolescent's acid."

"Our crazy Adolescent guest had been staying in and around the Teardrop camp for months. She paid her way with consignments of drugs sent by her father from the West Coast. But she was finally beginning to blow our minds. She was everywhere. There were a lot of strange people around the Teardrop at this time, but every minute of every day the Adolescent would be screaming long and into the night. I rang [Pete] DeFreitas and told him that I was sending the Adolescent up to Liverpool to stay with him at my old place. We sent the Adolescent up there, went off to record and play a British tour, and promptly forgot about it."

"Simmo [keyboardist in TE] pleaded with me to take the Adolescent away. "She's off her head, Copey. She's been selling acid for 20p a tab. Her dad sends it from Los Angeles with your name on it."

Even DeFreitas, a man normally known for his capacity to chill out in the most extreme situation, was worried. He told me that we had to stop her right now. About six packages of acid and MDA, each package containing 200 tablets, had arrived at my home with my name on the envelopes, in the last two months. With my burgeoning reputation for LSD in the press and the Adolescent's increasingly loud mouth, we had to catch it whilst we could."

"We took the Adolescent and her friend on the rest of the tour."
