HW vs Nik on going.....

[mary ann sullivan]

off topic, but we're all o.k. here after Monday, only a few miles away, glad
I'm not into marathons that was a real drag, I know you can relate, Scott,
so I figured I'd let you know.

Your friend,

Mary

Subject: HW vs Nik on going.....

I have been following this thread and it is pretty interesting. It will be
interesting to see what happens with Queensryche.. Anyway, these guys are
getting old and are not going to be playing Hawkwind shows in 20 years time.
Nik just does not seem like the guy who is out for money. He was so nice and
cool when I spoke to him at Herne Bay. I think he just wants to get out
there and play music for people and clearly people in the USA still want to
hear Hawkwind and Hawkwind never play in the USA. IT is logistically a
nightmare and they would lose money so they don't play there.

Whether trademarking Nik Turner's Hawkwind is a good or bad idea... who
knows.... I will be surprised if NIk is out and touring and doing all this
stuff in 5-10 years but you never know. He looked really frail 2 years ago
when I saw Space Ritual but in Jan for the Herne Bay gig he was in top form
and looked and sounded great and on top it....

In the end, there are people who still want to hear "old" Hawkwind music.
Clearly Hawkwind still play some of Nik's songs like Master of the Universe
and he plays a lot of songs he never wrote. But so many bands play songs
they did not write so this is nothing new.

We will see.....

Peace, love and music.
