THE ANGRY BRIGADE
The Angry Brigade were a left-wing revolutionary group responsible for a series of bomb attacks in England between 1970 and 1972. (More from Wikipedia)
In 1972, Mick Farren published his first book, a comic-book style polemic that traces the development of the youth subculture from the 1950’s; the subtitle on the back cover is “How Elvis gave birth to the Angry Brigade”. The co-writer with him is Edward Barker, a cartoonist who designed the covers on the second and third albums by the Pink Fairies. The title is Watch Out Kids and is probably adapted from the lyric “Look out kids” in “Subterranean Homesick Blues” by Bob Dylan.
