Well it was you that started it by mentioning Mother GonG.
When all's said and done we are all one, I am the universe
wheeeeeeeeeeeeee .... sorry couldn't help myself :-((

> Where did Gilli go wrong her first LP is so wonderful...

Whimsy and hippy pap are more dangerous than any illegal
drugs. I think that Daevid Allen goes around putting stuff
in peoples tea. I saw him once do a benefit gig at a Steiner
school - too whimsical to even play capitalist venues like
clubs or pubs. Awful - the band was a few talentless traveller
types: one on hurdy-gurdy, one on Indian drums. The audience
was about 20 stoned freaks and this was the late 80's! Sooo
embarrassing. Have these people no idea of the passing of time?

Anyway we must be grateful that DA hasn't got to Lemmys
bourbon yet!
