The upcoming North American tour

[Mary Ann Sullivan]

I thought we were through with sh** a long time ago.  Although Nik feels
entitlement to the band, his musical accomplishments stand up there with
Hawkwind, which Dave has kept alive all these years.  I look forward to
shows from both bands.  Nik should tour his new album, along with the music
he was involved with during his times with Hawkwind.  That's just my
opinion.

The problem is that they far that things might progress from NT's HK to
Hawkwind.... and the acquiescing. The Australian Pink Floyd don't ever bill
themselves as Pink Floyd do they?

Nik's attorney says:

"The service mark 'Nik Turner's Hawkwind' is not confusing, nor will it
'cause problems' for Dave Brock's band. Mr Turner is not calling his band
'Hawkwind.' Any fan or consumer who sees an advertisement for 'Nik Turner's
Hawkwind' knows exactly what he or she will get: Nik Turner, and not the
Dave Brock version." On one hand he says it is not Hawkwind but the in the
next sentence he says it a version so people are supposed to think it
Hawkwind?

But who would trust the word of a lawyer?

We could do without all this though..... :(
