Maybe - but when you are thrown out of Brixton Acad at 4am on a dark
autumn morning after an all-night awake session and you are not feeling
at your most supremely observant or intelligent, you don't know where
the best bus stop is for Outer Shepherd's Bush or how long you'll have
to wait for one to arrive, there's two hours 'til the Tube opens, and
you look, act and sound like a stranger, it is (1) adviseable not to
wander around alone looking lost and (2) it sure helps to have someone
there who can tell you that just 50 yards round that corner in that
direction there is an all-night cafe where you can get breakfast,
some tea and sit down for a while and talk with other Hawkwind folk
who have found their way there!

who managed to get hopelessly lost looking for Brixton station -
I guess I was having an off day.
