"I Know Where Syd Barrett Lives"
Len Brown, NME, 7 October 1989
PETER JENNER epitomises the 'fifth Beatle' school of pop management, guiding the ill starred careers of the early Pink Floyd, Marc Bolan and Topper-troubled Clash before heading into the altogether calmer waters of professional 'Good Blokes' Billy Bragg and Hank Wangford. Len Brown met the former guerrilla of the hippy underground turned latterday saint amongst sinners.
