Reading Hendrix on Hendrix: Interviews and Encounters with Jimi Hendrix. Edited by Steven Roby.

Packed full of gems, such as golden underwear...........

Jimi was asked about Donovan in 1967.

"He’s nice— kinda sweet! He’s a nice little cat in his own groove, all about flowers and people wearing golden underwear. I like Donovan as a person, but nobody is going to listen to this “love” bit. I like Dylan’s music better because it’s more earthy and live. “Mellow Yellow” is slang in the States for really groovy. “Sunshine Superman” means he can get his girl— anyway, that’s my interpretation. I’d like to play some sessions behind Dylan. His group ought to be a little more creative. These days everybody thinks everybody else has to have trips, and people are singing about trips. Like the Byrds when they made “Eight Miles High,” it was just about a plane journey, and you do get a good feeling up there. They were even trying to ban “Green, Green Grass of Home” back in the States."

Yes folks, Green, Green Grass of Home, was quite the radical drug song back in the day.
