Hawkwind - from Motorway City to Eternal City

[Tom Byrne]

Just gleaned from "Space-Rock Review":


> Hawkwind to play the Vatican?
>
> Rumours abound that the reason for the cancellation of the latter half of
> the UK winter tour was in fact a command from the highest echelons of the
> Church.
>
> Following 20 years of negotiations which started with the release of the
> heretical "Church of Hawkind" album, Hawkwind and Rome are now reconciled,
> and the Vatican have agreed to call their site Holy Ritual.net.
>
> To celebrate their new found understanding, Hawkwind have agreed to play a
> special Christmas concert at St Peter's, which will include their more
> religious works - from the haunting "Silver Machine Requiem" through  the
> touching tale of what every cyber child wants out of his Christmas gifts
"No
> Faults And Battery" , to a dark tale of post party disaster "The Morning
> Void" and its immediate corollary "We Were Born to Go".
