Out of My Mind

Richard Neville, former editor of "Oz" magazine and the author of "Hippie Hippie Shake", has been observing culture and counterculture for 30 years.

The man who was at the centre of the British youth movement in the 1960s is now in his 50s, married and the father of two girls.

While still a radical thinker and writer, his views have moved on.

Neville remains a controversial social commentator, constantly coming up with unexpected angles on the zeitgeist.

This book comprises the best of Neville, and includes articles and essays on everything from parenthood and pot-culture to art and vasectomy: from "Howling All the Way to the Talk Shows" - an analysis of Allen Ginsberg; to "Back Among the Fringe Dwellers", which looks at London in the 90s.
