 re: Hawkwind
 I'm sure. Actually, though, I've yet to hear a Hawkwind album that
 didn't have at least a /few/ interesting bits. I admit that I've
 heard only a relatively small portion of their catalog...
 I actually heard "Silver Machine" on the radio a couple of weeks
 back! 'Twas late night on a small indie station, true.. Still, I
 could hardly believe me ears.  ;-)
 That metaphoric late-night stubbing-of-the-toe on "Silver Machine" has
 got me fired up to acquire their debut album. Apparently, it's currently
 available on CD, a reissue on the One Way label. Assuming that it IS in
 print, that'll be my next Hawkwind purchase, I think.
 Well hey, I like "Veteran.." mostly just 'cause it's got a great BEAT!
 That, and some great late-model Buck Dharma guitar.
 Believe it or not, I hadn't even thought of that. When you put it
 that way, it seems bloody obvious! (The black telescope = obsidian
 Mayan mirror, I mean.)
 You're right, someone needs to devote a book to the IMAGINOS myth.
 Hey Steve! You got Moorcock's e-mail address?  ;-)
