Daevid Allen R.I.P.

An extremely important figure of psychedelic culture has died. I can't say I was one of his biggest fans but his work with Gong cannot be underestimated. That's where they were different from most prog bands: thanks to Allen they didn't take themselves too seriously. I only got to see Gong once in the late 90s but it was got me into the roots of psychedelic rock, along with Hawkwind. He seemed like an incredibly graceful human being too. May he rest in peace.
