The Jason Zodiac Files

On December 31st 1999, a man walked out of his hotel room and was never seen again. This baffling disappearance was the latest (but not the last) chapter in the turbulent life of Jason Zodiac - musician, actor, anarchist, counter-culture guru and all-round mystery. Even his real name was unknown; to the public he was simply Jason Zodiac, friend of John Lennon, Syd Barrett, Allen Ginsberg, Timothy Leary, Joe Strummer, Tony Wilson and Thom Yorke. Zodiac was the man behind the Sonic Warriors Cook- book, the Westminster Canine Protests, and the insertion of secret messages into all of his records. Zodiac was the hated enemy of both Margaret Thatcher and Mary Whitehouse, who claimed he was 'the single cause of the corruption of modern youth'. Now, expanding on his Retroculture columns from Fugue magazine, rock journalist Jamie Carter includes eyewitness interviews, recently released government papers and police reports, to reveal the shocking truth behind the legend.
