HW Space Ritual

[mike coleman]

Just turn the thing over to Elvis Costello and have any prior Hawkwind
members make certain to play ONLY their own material or other musical cover
versions that Barney would have had a happier memory with, and to show the
integrity of the event and that it is not an act of war (AGAIN)  be that
intentionally or non-so
how's that for some BS????
nik's not getting younger, may he have a great time and all who attend
I guess enjoy anything offered while the precious moments still exist on
earth....
