Some got lucky, some didn't.<br /><br />My ears have never recovered from a Hawkwind gig in a concrete cellar somewhere deep under our local youth club.<br /><br />The pistol was a theatrical prop being passed around -- somewhere I've got a similar snap with a Hamlet-style skull. Both are probably illegal these days.<br /><br />MikeMike C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11279776665185060446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6096844366367766843.post-10758050828769027062013-01-26T21:32:46.337+00:002013-01-26T21:32:46.337+00:00 .22 revolver

Oh the joys of endless repeats in Satellite World. I got rid of Sky and keep to Freesat these days. But "The Band" is the best of the series.<br /><br />Personally, although I'm no fan, I love the fact that Ozzy and co are still surprised by what could loosely be termed as "getting away with it" for so long. The early seventies was fuelled for many of us by "Man, Myth and Magic", Dennis Wheatley novels, Waddington's Ouija board game (oh, yes!) and the first Black Widow album. The kudos I got for seeing them live when I was 14! A naked lady being sacrificed!!<br /><br />Black Sabbath were just noisy - although "Planet Caravan" from this album was nice.Dave Leekehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17971308602082668644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6096844366367766843.post-17120303900585906642013-01-26T15:30:01.257+00:002013-01-26T15:30:01.257+00:00eeyorn,
