Perhaps someone else following it up would be worth a try?

The video on Peterson's blog has been blocked by UMG (in the UK at least). Does anyone here have the audacity to contact UMG to ask why they blocked it, or if they know the source?

In the light of reaction to Phil M's post of 18 May '22, here's a link to a 1975 Bangs interview in case anyone missed it; he calls Lou a pathetic death dwarf. First printed in Detroit Creem and reprinted in New Musical Express, UK. Old PDF files will never have the character of old clippings printe...

Ok, it's not a photo, it's the image on the very first page of The Great Psychedelic Discography by Martin C. Strong (Canongate, 1997)

Do you all remember as well the reference to Loaded in Buffy the Vampire Slayer?

Here's a YouTube clip: https://youtu.be/O0U3XlvezWQ
