Richard Fariña: a lost genius who bridged the gap between beats and hippies
(David Barnett / The Guardian).
#RichardFariña

He was Thomas Pynchon’s roommate, he hung out with Bob Dylan and wrote an American cult classic, yet Fariña is a name few know outside of literary circles. That’s something that should change.

I adore this clip of Fairport Convention playing Reno Nevada in '68 - so much to love about it but maybe my fave bit is how Judy and Ian settle down and let the band wig out (and what a band!) - and the way Judy just saunters back to the mic when they're done. Nothing cooler than that on the whole internet IMO!
