Were in slight disagreement over this, I think Hawkwind's Lyrics are the best
ever written including those by Ron Tree IF they are taken the Right way.
Some of them have reduced me to tears of Laughter.

IMO Ron Tree took the Myth of Insanity to the Next Level, the Notion of
getting back from the Subconscious to Reality on [Hawkwind 1997] is
Intelligent and Highly Admirable.

Also I think 25 Years on and Test Tube Concieved are certainly among the
Greatest Works ever. Many would argue that from a Social Standing-Point they
are a too close to the truth for comfort.

Best Regards
