Robert Calvert had serious mental problems, he wasn't on any psychedelics, he was on control drugs and many spells in 'institutions' to keep his mania at bay. Remember this was back in the 70s, a less enlightened time.
Ultimately, a tragic yet creative man in an unfortunate scene.

That still doesn't excuse making the band that brought us Silver Machine sound and look like Roxy Music on a bad night. :eek:

Silver Machine wasn't all Hawkwind were about, there are far better in thier canon.

Too damn right. For my money, they were right up there with Can, Neu and the rest. And that's just for one song (You Shouldn't Do That).

One band long long overdue a serious reappraisal.

Calvert gave them a bit of a punk feeling and so brought a new generation into the Church of Hawkwind. After the Sisters, this is the only band I will travel to see.
