        Yes, and Steve was the one who finally convinced Brock to
sack Lemmy, even though Brock didn't want to.  Steve wanted Lemmy
for his new project "Motorswann" (you should see the cover art
they worked up for *that*!), but after they recorded the album
the record company wouldn't release it because they thought it
sounded too much like Enya (or possibly Live Chronicles).
        Later, Al Bouchard unethically stole the tapes and based
_Imaginos_ on them (working title: Imagin-NOT!).
        In revenge on all concerned, Steve started the the
BOC/Hawkwind email list, for which we all most righteously blame
him.

Cheers,
Carl
