Brock!! Turner was like the mad navigator or something... If Brock buys
it (lets hope not for at least another 25+ years...), who knows, maybe
Nik will come along to scavenge whats left of Hawkwind. Sorry if I sound
morbid here, but the whole NikWind thing bothers the hell outta me. I
mean, look at the Grateful Dead (again)... just because Robert Hunter
was a very important part of the whole idea and music that was the Dead,
Garcia was the glue that kept it together. Nobody went around claiming
they were the Dead, everybody just seemed to accept that it was A
BAND (and later a corporation...), not TWO. Im running out of bad
metaphors here, so i'll toss whats left of this last one to the
hounds...
