Probably a bit hard to explain, but I always found Jerry Cornelius for instance, to be one mixed up persona, and I don't really care for how his thoughts often made me feel ... maybe because I am anti-being-drugged ... never liked that loss of connection with the world of reality. No doubt Moorcock was heavily into drugs at that stage of his life. Strangely perhaps, he and I share a love of the band Hawkwind, which was kind of known as the penultimate druggy Space Rock band. I like going to far away places, but still having my wits about me. Unlike many others, music was enough of a drug for me ... and the books I read ... plus the occasional Beer or Scotch or Brandy or Wine.
Thanks for the suggestions.
