Could've been me.

Other than for the truly major blanga tracks, I'm not sure the sax ever
helped. T'were a little different with Jez Hugget, who gave the
impression that he could in fact play along with, rather than play
against a song.

Indeed. For me, if you drop any expectation of it being like Hawkwind,
it can be fun just because Nik is a good live showman, but it's each
according to his own tastes.

Well on Saturday the dancer appeared in Nun's Habit, Nurse's Uniform
etc. She wasn't great, but she did put two hours of effort into it and I
think that's pretty good going. I didn't think it was particularly
meant to be erotic, but I don't either think something is necessarily
bad just because it's erotic.
