New addition to the "Quite good once you know" file:
Along with "See Emily Play" by Pink Floyd and that one by Status Quo* we can add "Silver Machine" by Hawkwind. All I knew of Hawkwind was from Mark Radcliffe's terrible, clumsy "Showbusiness: The Diary of a Rock 'n' Roll Nobody" and that some version of them played the Isle of Man during the TT races every year. This didn't endear me to them; the only other groups who deigned to visit Ellan Vanin during my residence being P.J. and Duncan and Mansun. I realise now, of course, that those were two good reasons why I should have paid attention a long while ago.
* Comment here with, "Which one? "In the Army Now"? "Down Down"? They did nothing but tunes!
