Well, this defense makes some sense, e.g. in the Motorhead case.  But
one of the things that originally attracted me to Hawkwind (et al)
was that the counter-culture of the time didn't just reject mainstream
culture; they thought they could build something better.  That optimism
is something I still find attractive.  The current pervasive cynicism
saddens me (although I share some of it).

The other defense, that the swastika was a solar symbol, doesn't seem
very convincing when the occurrences being defended appear alongside
chains, helmets, and other military paraphenalia!

Dave (also cheering the counter-culture from the sidelines).
