John Hugen Tobler is a British rock music journalist, writer, occasional broadcaster, and record company executive.
With Pete Frame, he was one of the founders of ZigZag magazine in April 1969. The magazine focused on the "underground" music scene of the time, and featured Tobler's interviews with many of the leading rock and folk musicians of the period, both American and British. He continued to write for ZigZag until the 1980s, and for many other music magazines since then.
This was very interesting but, as with most texts on The Clash, there is little input beyond collating interviews. This meant that the text has been useful for filling in the gaps in my knowledge, but offers no analysis (which I believe Miles, a well-known countercultural investigator and critic, had the capacity to do).
