So does this mean that if the entire audience at a Hawkwind concert runs
crazily from side to side (a la Star Trek) during the show, we can get
the gig times up to three hours?

This could also have the beneficial side-effect that the cumulative effect
of lots of flapping lab coats could set up some weird time/space
disruption, sparking a wormhole on the stage, through which a 1970s Lemmy,
Simon House, et al could appear.

;-)

Cheers,

Paul.

obQuestion: Would the 1970s Dave Brock tell his contemporary to "play
more guitar," or would he fail to meet him entirely, due to the latter's
complete seclusion, hidden behind a bank of synthesisers (thereby averting
any possible time paradox)?
