RIP Dik Mik of Hawkwind

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Dik Mik and his audio generator defined the sound of Hawkwind as much as Lemmy's basslines. This matters to me too; RIP & onward flies the bird.
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

Yeah me too.

Sad loss. :cry:

I was never a big Hawkwind fan, but their work was no doubt inspiring and helped other things to come.
Sad to hear everyday another and another at that pace. :?
