I am camera

A 1970s fanzine with very small print

When I was 19, I took out a subscription to a rock magazine called zigzag. As far as I know you had to subscribe to receive this slim, unglossy fanzine via the mail.  The principle of zigzag and other fanzines was that they only wrote about stuff they liked. (In very small print.) That is how I aquired a knowledge of all these bands you may never have heard of – Love, Quicksilver Messenger Service, Little Feat, Moby Grape etc. I owe much of my esoteric rock knowledge to this little 1970s magazine. (I even bought a t-shirt.)
    Otherwise I’ve been busy setting up the pre-pages of my novella.  Tedious but it has to be done.
