I guess this all reflects the spirit of the aged. This just seems to get
dirtier and dirtier as the ex band members get older. Instant retirement
fund maybe? I don't believe for a second that DB would be ripping off the
estate of RC. Quite simply - if the past members of Hawkwind felt so strong
about Dave ripping them off, Hawkestra would never has happened.

Maybe the Hawkwind camp could tell us more.
