Some of the opinions do seem a bit bizarre, yes.  But remember that Bob
was very much about "getting into" the characters he wrote about,
sometimes going a bit too far.  So I'd find it entirely plausible that
these are things he might have discussed, even if they weren't necessarily
what he believed.

The song will definitely make the perfect soundtrack for the next time I
put on my tinfoil hat and start checking my apartment for the microwave
transmitter that's beaming mind-control signals from Alpha Centauri (or
the republicans?) into my head ;^).

Can't wait!  This sounds like a particularly fun one ... I always greatly
enjoy manifestations of Hawkwind's sense of humor ...
