ALEXANDER TROCCHI
 
 
Alexander Trocchi  (30 July 1925 – 15 April 1984) was a Scottish novelist.  (More from Wikipedia)
 
 

Mick Farren settled in then-unfashionable Notting Hill with an early lady love, Joy Hebditch; they later married.  Like many in that era, Farren discovered the joys of marijuana and fell in with a radical crowd, including Scottish beat poet Alexander Trocchi and a black-power advocate named Michael de Freitas (who later took the name Michael X).  Mick Farren called the movement that he helped found the “Psychedelic Left”.
