HW: Do Not Panic documentary

[Amphetamine Embalmer]

Just let it rain down on poor old Nik eh?? :-)

Well Turner is described just like that in the early 80s period which I was well chronicled a little bit as such in the book by Ian Abrahams.....

And Alan Davey immediately moved right in to a right-hand position of Power at Brocks hand when he joined the band, i think that was EVIL too......

...poor Nik!

i dont blame Brock and co for pulling out.. having watched Turner and his 
croney old gang of pub comedians churn out the most awful versions of HW 
songs on utube, I cant blame them.
And dont forget, the really bad ole years of 83-84 were mainly due to 
Turners comedy performances which made me and my space music mates groan 
every time he jumped on stage to ridicule every hawkwind song lyric he could 
think of, with his limited spontaneous wit and stupefying intelligence.THAT 
WAS NOT hawkwind!As Alan Davey quite rightly pointed out to Dave, after the 
Ipswich gig, which i was at , and was recorded for video.The only saviour of 
that video/gig was Dave doing psi-power.Turners  not a musician, hes not 
even funny, and now hes just very sad. He has a presence,yes..but thats all.
