As I went past him on the way to the bar I asked, “How ya doing Ian?” Whoa! Bad move, never call him by his real name - thought he was gonna crack my skull open with a pool cue. I went Into the student bar where Lemmy was in the middle of a game of pool. Lemmy was a force of nature, what a guy! I had a near death experience with him one night when Hawkwind were playing a local university. First time I encountered them when I was an art college drop out back in ‘69, they were playing free gigs under a motorway flyover in Ladbroke Grove in London - loved them ever since. Ha ha ha, yeah Hawkwind - still going strong, recording and gigging! What a crew. Lemmy probably had more success here with Motorhead. Freakin' love Hawkwind, saw them here in the States, years ago! Never understood why they (and Budgie for that matter) never got more traction here.
