Nice Link. Thanks for sharing. Seems seems very much together at this time frame that the article says is just before the launch of Piper. Funny that on one cut he says "It’s a number that would sound better at 33."

Just before his initial breakdown but during the time when he was doing lots of LSD. He’s clearly copying John Lennon, who had done similar snarky reviews for Melody Maker. I recall reading something suggesting that management was a bit paranoid about this interview as it took place, maybe thinking he would be too weird even if he had not gone off the deep end at that point.
