HW: Sonic assassins

[eddie jobson]

Am really looking forward to receiving mine now!

Noticed recently how many links in entertainment and the real world there
are to Hawkwind songs, specifically the 1977 Calvert era. Hassan I Sahba -
middle east threat (well explained in a 1977 Calvert/Brock radio interview I
have with Tommy Vance), Damnation Alley - nuclear threat, High Rise - 9/11
and even entertainment, the films the Right Stuff about American pilots
trying to break the sound barrier and |The Will Smith film I Robot - the 3
laws. The late Robert Calvert, the 20th centuries answer to the prophet
Nostradamus?

My twopenneth.

Eddie.
