20 Minutes With Lenny Kaye…
Kris Needs, ZigZag, December 1979

It was for this reason and the reception given to Wave that the only interview Lenny Kaye currently acting as group spokesman did during PSG's visit was with Zigzag (although he did stroll round London with Sandy Robertson, and got panned for his trouble!).
