Indeed:

Hydra Books hosts Royal Babylon: The Criminal History of the British Monarchy by Heathcote Williams

 

[Casual Observer]

Best known as a poet, author, playwright, actor etc. but his early 70s nighttime graffiti genius rarely gets a mention.

On a bridge somewhere in West London, 'the road to excess leads to the palace of Willesden'.

Outside the rehearsal space for prog rock band Yes, 'NO!'.

Read his first book, The Speakers, last year. He was only 23 when it was published. Talented git. R.I.P.

 

[imposs1904]

Of course, I first knew him via this film.

Sir Jimmy Savile, the ‘Top of the Pops’ DJ, lured star-struck girls

To his dressing room, and crudely demanded, ‘Give me head!’
