My Take
Arthur Brown is one of those figures I admire precisely because he refused to play it safe. A University of London man who chose to perform with a flaming helmet and banshee screams, he turned the stage into total theatre long before that was fashionable. I see him as a crucial dot connecting psychedelia, shock rock and the avant-garde, the kind of fearless eccentric whose influence quietly seeps into artists who never even cite him. That he's still howling well into his eighties tells you this was never a gimmick, but a lifelong, genuine commitment to the strange and the sublime.
