The Independent's obituary.
- Jean-François Bizot had an enormous influence on the cultural life of France over the past 40 years. Between 1970 and 1975, and again between 1979 and 1994, he was at the helm of the counter-culture monthly Actuel. This started out as a French take on the underground press, not too far removed from the Village Voice and the Los Angeles Free Press in the US, or Oz and the International Times in the UK, but eventually evolved into required reading not so much for the hippies as for the hip crowd.[2]
"Interstellar Overdrive" recorded for Peter Whitehead's Tonite Let's All Make Love in London in 1966 at the legendary underground psychedelic UFO Club.
