Don't worry, so was I (Rolling Rock and Tomb Raider II not necessarily a
recommended combination, but I least I got my Uzis back - stil haven't got
the hang of the harpoon gun though), anyway!, while I can just about
imagine them sitting around getting stoned, Turner lets off a deadly one,
Dave or someone goes "beware the wind of the hawk-nosed one" or something,
and there you go, it still (for me!) doesn't have the ring of truth - I'd
have let it lie except that I wonder what that Lanois song is all about?
 And if there's a common origin for what is an unusual phrase?

(Still, much better to argue about this and not the incarnate existence of
Supreme Evil :)))

I'm glad you raised the point about HW being subversive and
counter-cultural, which they really were - I can't claim to have ever been
part of the counter-culture myself, more a case of cheering from the
sidelines like so many others, but one of the things that attracted me to
them were that were so obviously the *real thing* (not a bunch of bourgeois
public schoolboys like too many other bands, no names mentioned!)
