- 2003 December 10, Annalee Newitz, “The high-tech black market”, in San Francisco Bay Guardian:
- Groups of glittery girls and boys with 1960s protomullets slid past homeless people too tired to beg for money.
- 2006 February, John Hotten, “Fish”, in Classic Rock, page 96:
- Able to bring together his solo songs and his Marillion career in an album and a live show that demonstrates the weight and breadth of his work, the shaven-headed figure that walks on stage tonight comes accompanied by gravitas, as well as the quirky charisma that has survived face-paint, parachute pants and that 1980s protomullet, to prosper in this more restrained era.
