HW: Nik thoughts

[ANDREW GARIBALDI]

isn't it all a bit like the Roger Waters vs Dave Gilmour split down the
middle where both reckoned they had the right to use Pink Floyd - there, the
mystery was why it went to Gilmour as he was NOT an original member of the
band - so maybe it's not as clear cut as it seems.
