Documented hippie here. I stared at the sun (mainly as a pre-adolescent) from time to time. My eyes still work.

'Nother documented hippie here. What about the guy that turned into an orange?

Oh, sorry–I was able to locate a URL for that story, too. See http://www.snopes2.com/horrors/drugs/linklttr.htm.

This one does not seem as straightforward an explantion as for the orange guy or the blinded by the sun deal; rather, it’s a tortuous explantion. I believe that Art continues to tell the same story to this day.
