ISOS was from a soap opera?!? :)
Anyway, I'm a youngun (22 1/2... 23 in September), so believe it or not,
the very first HW song I ever heard was "Ghost Dance" in early 1994,
followed in quick succession by oodles of classic HW tracks and performed
by Nikwind on that first tour.  I hadn't even heard of Hawkwind until
that week, and lookitmenow!!! :)

The circumstances of my introduction may explain why I enjoy the
Cleopatra/Hypnotic HW-related stuff so much.  E.g., I think Pressurehed
is just plain k00l. :)
