HW: www.hawkwind.com is gone

[Moonglum .]

My take on this, supplementary to Nick's point about Mission Control being
*the* official HW site....

www.hawkwind.com seemed to be owned by Doug Smith and I get the impression
that he and the band are not on good terms at the moment.  I'm sure this is
also why the Emergency Broadcast System label seems to have ground to a
halt, i.e. maybe it was set up by Doug Smith.

As to the curious wording ("At the request of Dave Brock, Ali Davey,
Richard Chadwick, Huw Lloyd Langton and Simon House, this site has now been
closed.")... Well, that is of course the current memebership of Hawkwind,
but when stated in this way avoids saying that Hawkwind consists of those
people (and therefore, not any of Nik's alt.hawk crew).

Wheels within wheels.  I'm with the Captain, regardless.  Hawkwind is Dave
Brock and Dave Brock is Hawkwind, no matter what anyone else says or does
to the contrary, IMHO!
