Bomp! / Saving the World One Record at a Time

Mick Farren is still recording albums regularly and has become a respected rock critic, journalist, and science fiction novelist. I used to read an occasional piece that he wrote for the Village Voice both before and after I lived there; one mused on why the English had such bad dental hygiene and featured a photo quiz asking the reader to match photos of rotten teeth with celebrities' names (including one member of the royal family). The acclaimed retrospective of the world of Greg Shaw called Bomp! / Saving the World One Record at a Time lists him as the co-author with Suzy Shaw, Greg's business partner and ex-wife.
