Hawkwind legacy

[Stephen Swann]

I am convinced that Hawkwind (and Blue Oyster Cult) will get their
due, someday.  Sort of like it took 25 years for Black Sabbath's
influence to be owned up to (and no, I'm not suggesting that Hawkwind
is as influential as Sabbath).  Some bands are never recognised in
their own time... but someday, people are going to look back at the
Hawkwind legacy and be awed by what they accomplished, with
virtually no recognition or support.
