“I was bored on the 9th of Octover 1940 when, I believe,
the Nasties were still booming us led by Madalf Headlamp
(who had only one). Anyway, they didn’t get me.” John
Rolling Stone: What was it like in the early days in London?John: When we came down, we were treated like real provincials by the Londoners. We were in fact, provincials.Rolling Stone: What was it like, say, running around London, in the discotheques, with the Stones, and everything?John: That was a great period. We were like kings of the jungle then, and we were very close to the Stones. I don't know how close the others were but I spent a Lot of time with Brian and Mick. I admire them, you know. I dug them the first time I saw them in whatever that place is they came from, Richmond. I spent a lot of time with them, and it was great. We all used to just go around London in cars and meet each other and talk about music with the Animals and Eric and all that. It was really a good time, that was the best period, fame-wise. We didn't get mobbed so much. It was like a men's smoking club, just a very good scene. [edited]
