A musical friendship - joy, anger, and drugs between Nick Drake and John Martyn

A lovely article in the Guardian about the strong friendship between two British folk-rock greats, Nick Drake and John Martyn: "In 2005 Martyn told me, 'Nicky was one of my favourite human beings in the world'. Throughout his life, Martyn’s friendships with other men could be intense: tactile, tempestuous, thoughtful and surprisingly gentle, with lots of kisses and hugs. 'John was different from other people in Glasgow; he was very free', says Linda Thompson. 'He wasn’t at all uncomfortable or frightened of loving a man – not in a physical way – which was quite unusual in those days. Nick and John loved one another. It was quite Greek, without the sex'".
