I can only imagine....
You know... somewhat off-topic, I suppose, but what the heck... I've always found it interesting that Hawkwind didn't catch on over here more than they did. Not "plastic" enough? Certainly their music has at least as much to it (usually more than) as the majority of groups that
did. I've a feeling that, had they been performing over here in the 1960s instead, they'd have been quite popular... but by the time they made their appearance over here, we were retreating into the Beach Boys sweetness-'n'-light sort of thing on the whole (*traumatic flashback of Peter Frampton and the Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band film here -- complete with severe shudders*
)
Anyone have any thoughts on that one?
Errrr.... helllo....?
Ragnar: sorry to hear you'll be missing it... perhaps it will be rebroadcast at a later point....?
