I should hope so too! I've been seeing the Ozrics on and off for 15
years. Christ, my (long since defunct) band gigged with them dozens of
times and , great blokes etc., they aren't 5% of the band the Hawks are,
never will be. I don't think I'm upsetting too many people on this list,
but I cannot believe how many people are into this outfit and have never
heard of Gong / Hillage etc.  I mean "Eternal Wheel" you just mentioned,
that's from a Gong lyric for a start.

I doubt if there were many US Ozrics fans who flew in for the show last
night!
