Why spread a story that you can't authenticate?

The downside of being fans rather than casual listeners is that we tend to
want all the background stuff as well as the music..and discover our heroes
are just like anybody else. Why are we surprised? Why is it anything at all
to do with us? Not a single other member of Hawkwind (in my opinion) could
have done what DB has achieved over the last 30 years.

Isn't it funny? Most X-Hawkwind want to slag the guy off. And most
X-Hawkwind members would rejoin tomorrow if asked....

A Calvert quote I think.
