On the other hand, Mick Farren has had a lot of friends over the years who were much more radical than he was.  For instance, Farren was one of the leaders of the British wing of the White Panthers, a group that Black Panther Party leader Huey Newton encouraged white sympathizers to form.  But it wasn’t just radicals; Farren also befriended several members of the Hells Angels motorcycle club, and one of the quotations in the liner notes of Ptooff! is by Sonny Barger, a founding member of the Oakland, California chapter and probably the best known Angel.  Moreover, Mick Farren demonstrated time and time again that he could be a very good friend indeed.
