Very much so, but also Pink Floyd, The Incredible String Band [who actually became Scientologists!!] etc I found it an incredibly good read [he's always very funny/eloquent on these BBC4 programmes]. As he says at the end 'As for me, I cheated. I never got too stoned. I became the eminence grise I aspired to be, and, disproved at least one sixties myth: I was there and I do remember'. We met Ashley Hutchins [sp] a few years ago at a village gig [a friend of ours manages his son, Blair Dunlop] and he still agonises over the fact that he discovered Nick Drake and worries that it would have been better had he not become 'famous'. My favourite book of recent times, though, is Bill Brysons 'At Home' which is about the rooms of his house [obviously] but, being Bill Bryson goes off into details about what was happening throughout the world at the time it was built, which happens to be at the time of the Great Exhibition, which is the historical event that I would go back in time to if I could. I'm currently having a tidy up/clear out of stuff in the garage [my ex left 15 years ago but it is still home to most of his car/motorbike stuff, along with his dad's lathes] and am fascinated by old tools and machinery. There are even old'ish oil cans that I will not throw away because I love the designs on them. And old prison scissors [his dad was a prison officer] with the ends cut off etc.
