Give the Anarchist a Cigarette: Counterculture legend Mick Farren reads at La Luz de Jesus Gallery | Brand X | Los Angeles Times:

"In his 60+ years on Earth, Mick Farren has worn many hats. He's one of the founders of the 'underground' press in Britain, he was the doorman at the psychedelic UFO Club (where Pink Floyd and the Soft Machine got their starts), a political activist, a well-respected science fiction novelist, a TV and media columnist, a poet, and, not least, he was the lead singer of the proto-punk band, The Deviants. His autobiography 'Give the Anarchist a Cigarette' is an indispensable volume in any library about the '60s and '70s. In short, the man is a counterculture legend, and one of the last of the 'gonzo' journalists."
