HW: Do Not Panic documentary

[pete howe]

yes imo, he miraculously found out how to play flute and sax properly on the 
warrior album, i admit..was that REALLY him??Or maybe Simon Houses wonderful 
musical skills transposed him?  His spell during the 80s with Hawkwind, and, 
for example, the Hawkestra, just proves how he set out to deliberately 
sabotage the band or turn them into a circus joke.
I believe he played with a circus, didnt he?I saw the pic in Ian Abrahams 
book.
He may be courteous and gentlemanly, he DOES come across as a nice bloke in 
documentaries... but a circus is where he belongs..
As someone else said, Hawkwind have moved on, and are a very tight space 
rock outfit.Nik hasnt moved on.And watching him mumble garbled ridicule 
through a 33 bpm version of Silver machine on utube recently confirms 
that,and how painfully embarrassing that must have been for the audience,as 
he pitifully tried to emulate Bob Calverts inspired spontaneous genius and 
intellect.
You only have to witness Jez Huggets playing to admire how a sax should be 
played, not sound like a fart or a cough, which,funnily enough, is what Nick 
does best, i believe :)
