HW: Do Not Panic documentary

[eddie jobson]

Interesting comments! Can see where you are coming from though. In my 
opinion I never rated Nik very much but he was gone by the time I got into 
the band in 1977. I can see that he was a useful piece of the puzzle 70-75 
but after that I think Dave and Co progressed and moved on but Turner never 
did. Strangely enough Lemmy still seems to have some respect for Nik.
