we all know von's love of classic 70s rock - and the fact that the sisters' some-time alter ago "the speed kings" took the name from
a deep purple track - but what about this one?
Hawkwind - Hassan I Sahba
Hawkwind wrote:Black-September Black-September
Black-September Black-September
Black-September
Black-September
Black-September
complete lyrics
ignoring the obvious 9/11 references (:o), do we think that von might have borrowed the title for the sisters'
black october tour from hawkwind's lyric?
hawkwind song snippet here (i gather)

Also known as "Assassins of Allah".
Hawkwind wrote:Petro-dollar Petro-dollar
Petrol-D'allah Petrol-D'allah
Petro-dollar
Petro-dollar
Petro-dollar
Also very Von-ish.
Von would certainly have been aware of the 'Wind right from the start, being a Motorhead fan, so it's beyond the realms of possibility at all.

i also recall that the 'circle with a circle cut out of it ' logo from the black october tour was also 'borrowed' from the design on the badges worn by bus conductors in the leeds municipal area at the time.

i didnt know that
ta
The Black September Organization (BSO) was a Palestinian terror group, founded in 1970. The group's name came from the conflict known as Black September...The BSO is best known for the kidnap and murder of 11 Israeli athletes, and the murder of a German police officer, during the September 1972 attack on the Olympic Village in Munich, Germany, which became known as the Munich massacre.
blimey
September 1970 is known as the Black September in Arab history and sometimes is referred to as the "era of regrettable events". It was a month when Hashemite King Hussein of Jordan moved to quash an attempt by Palestinian organizations to overthrow his monarchy. The violence resulted in heavy civilian Palestinian casualties. Armed conflict lasted until July 1971 with the expulsion of the PLO and thousands of Palestinians to Lebanon.

And while we're on the subject...
I was just listening to In Search Of Space, and having a look through The Hawkwind Log (even barmier than the booklet that comes with Space Ritual!) when I saw a drawing that looks suspiciously like the cover of the Return To Arkham bootleg.
As soon as I get my scanner working again, y'know.

I think Calvert was likening the 70's Black September movement with the ancient muslim sect "The Hashashin".Pretty prophetic stuff in the light of 11th September 2001.

October is usually associated with Black History month - the blacks where an oppressed race, so where the Goths. Goths traditionally wear black - it's dark at night , almost Black. It all makes sense. The tour was called Black October 'cos it where Black History month!! So maybe underneath all that hair n glasses persona, Eldritch is actually an African-American called Leroy Umbongo -Katanga from 162nd Street Harlem, New York..Yo !!

I don't get it. The tour was in October and the Sisters wore black. It's sometimes that simple, isn't it?

Are you saying Von's not black then?
Shave his beard off,a bit of the old Al Jolson paint,and Hey Presto-Errol Brown of Hot chocolate.
"Emma" is a dead give-a-way.
Or maybe in 1985......
Your my wife now Wayne.

I love you Ramone and I want your children.
However, please don't make me have the back catalogue of famous Chinese singer songwriter That Guitarist. It just ain't my bag of rice.
