Dear boclers,

the person who did the original stare out is a HW fan, as pointed out in my
posint 5/2/99
http://listserv.spc.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind9902A&L=BOC-L&P=R3978

All those Big train fans, who thought the best thing was the stare out
contest, the cartoonist who originally drew this (as a comic) is called
Paul Hatcher. back in 93-95 he produced a comic called Time we left. They
have been re-issued and there is a strong HW theme running through issues
2 and 3. A two page spread on Master of the Universe and some Startrek
people (First Officer Davy, Cheif Bass Specialist, Ensign Navigator
Chadwick, drum division, and Captain D Brock) trying to find another naked
dancer to replace Stacia. Issue 2 makes very little sense, but is quite
fun. Issue 3 has more story and less HW references, but anything with a
chapter headed Project Zarozinia, followed by In the Beginniing cannot be
all bad.

So not Fast show, but big train.

This probably aslo accounts for the "Master of the Universe" reference on
the home page of stare-out.com

Cheers

Mike

P.S. just to drag this back off topic, What is it about members of bands
that as they age they feel the need to fight over old identities? Is it just
the money that a name has? And if so why do they wait until they are of a
certain age before realising this and wanting to claim it, rather than being
happy with whatever solo project band name they could choose? Not impressed
by Nik's actions in claiming the name, let him use NT's space ritual, or
XHawkind.com. Either of these sound like a covers band, which is almost what
they are as long as they do not attempt to do new stuff. Still, I'd go and
see them because I am interested in seeing original/old members jam, just
don't want to support a group trying to take the name from the person who
kept it going and alive and in people's minds for 25 years when, if it had
been down to Nik (and the others in his line up) there would be no name to
trade on.
