Olaf pays tribute to his old friend Howard Marks in the Hot Press 2017 Annual

The bumper Hot Press Annual includes a tribute to our old pal and Legend of 2016, Howard Marks who passed away in April just six months after beguiling Metropolis-goers with his drug smuggling yarns.
Once the biggest dope peddler in the world – Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd unwittingly helped him airfreight Howard’s wares to the States - he sold over a million copies of his Mr. Nice memoir, toured internationally with his one-man show, appeared in over ten movies, collaborated with Alabama 3 and Super Furry Animals, DJ-ed and vigorously campaigned for drug and penal reform.
“During our Metropolis conversation, I asked Howard if he had any regrets,” reflects HP’s Olaf Tyaransen. “Although he knew the end was near, he quite cheerfully replied, ‘No, no regrets. I don’t think you can regret anything if you feel okay. I feel happy and okay now, so I can’t possibly regret anything that brought me to this position.'”
