Mick Farren died Saturday, on stage. He was pushing seventy, and if you're a peagreen you likely don't recognize his name. You're probably wondering why a sixty nine year old geezer you never heard of, who's music was by no means the best music of his many eras, would merit a blip. Farren was also a writer, among the truest of true believers, a guy who early on pointed to the disparity between the foo foo rock star elite, and the fans the paid for their lavish lifestyles. He walked the walk. You owe it to yourself to read up on him.
