        I don't think Dave thinks drugs and work mix, now. There are some
quotes in the sort of interview at the Philm Freaks website which back
this up, have a sken at <http://www.ibiblio.org/mal/MO/philm/brocki/> and
see what I mean. Perhaps this was the problem with Ron, who can say.

        Having seen the Nikwind Hawkestra last year I was bloody
impressed, but mostly with the way it just about held together on what
was clearly minimal rehearsal. If that had been supposed to be Hawkwind
I'd be annoyed because I expect Hawkwind to be professional. They're both
good but in different categories (and they can both be terrible some
nights). There really isn't that much comparison. Yours,
                                                         Jon
