Why does Lee Perry act so crazy?
Your guess is as good as mine, really. Lee Perry has always been a bit eccentric, but in the late 1970s as personal stress and burnout as a producer began to take its toll, Perry’s behaviour turned more and more extreme. At first, it was an attempt to scare away certain people in his midst whom he no longer wanted to deal with. At some point, the act began to control Perry instead of the other way around. For many years his outlandish behaviour has been a source of amusement and frustration to many people. At other times, he can be completely calm and lucid. In 25 words or less: Lee Perry lives in a world of his own but can visit ours when and if he wants to.
