HW: mention in Melody Maker

[Carl E. Anderson]

>    Hawkwind get a mention in Melody Maker today. In their "Info Freako"

>    The reply tells of the PXR5 story, and surprisingly mentions that
>   "Robert Calvert quitting the band and selling his guitar".
>    Even more surprisingly, the writer says that Calvert formed the

>   Hawkwind and recorded PXR5, but doesn't explain how he ends up singing
>   on PXR5 if he'd already left the band.

        A clear opporunity to demonstrate supreme music geekdom and send
them letters setting them straight :)

>    Aparrantly it was a guy called Mick Birch of Bromley who decided to
>   wire a plug the same way as the PXR5 cover and ended up blowing himself
>   across his living room.

        That's pretty cool--but people that dumb probably deserve what they
get!  Natural selection at work.

Cheers,
Carl
