KRIS TAIT	A LADY IN A HAWKWIND T-SHIRT	THE ONE THE ONLY STACIA

HERE AT THE MUSEUM WE FEEL THAT EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE THERE SAY, SO THAT'S WHY WE HAVE INTRODUCED THE LADIES PAGE. THE IDEA IS THAT ANY FEMALE WHO HAS SOMETHING A COMMENT ON THE SUBJECT OF HAWKWIND HAS NOW GOT THERE OWN PLACE TO AIR THEIR VIEWS . WITHOUT BEING TO PRESUMPTUOUS WE FEEL THAT CONTRIBUTORS WILL FALL INTO 2 CATEGORIES.

1 - WHEN EVER WE GO AND SEE THE BAND IT SEEMS LIKE YOU ARE ENTERING "TESTOSTERONE CITY", I.E THE AUDIENCE SEEMS TO BE MADE UP BY BLOKES OVER THE AGE OF 25. THAT'S NOT TO SAY THAT WE DON'T SEE FEMALE'S AT THE SHOWS, JUST NOT VERY MANY OF THEM. SO WHAT'S IT LIKE BEING A LADY "HAWKFAN", DROP US A LINE TELLING US OF YOUR EXPERIENCES, AMUSING ANECDOTES ETC AND IF YOUR FEELING BRAVE HOW ABOUT A PHOTO OF YOURSELF.

2 - LETS ALSO HEAR THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ARGUMENT. IS YOUR MAN A HAWKWIND BORE?, DOES A LARGE PART OF HIS LIFE GET TAKEN UP WITH THE VARIOUS GOINGS ON OF MR BROCK AND CO?, HAVE YOU HAD ENOUGH, THEN THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO SPEAK OUT AND TELL TELL THE WORLD HIS MOST SORDID SECRETS (WELL THE ONES CONCERNING HAWKWIND ANYWAY). GO ON GET YOUR OWN BACK!! FOR LADIES CONTRIBUTING TO THIS CATEGORY WE AT THE MUSEUM WOULD LIKE TO OFFER YOU THE CHANCE TO EXPERIENCE WHAT WE WOULD CONSIDER A  -

WOMEN'S UTOPIA

THANKS FOR YOUR TIME

(you won't get the joke if you don't watch "the fast show")

LIKE MANY THINGS IT SEEMED A GOOD IDEA AT THE TIME, OUR MAILBOX WAS HARDLY OVERFLOWING WITH REPLIES ABOUT OUR LADIES PAGE, SO TO GET SOME INTEREST WE THOUGHT WE WOULD PUT A SIMILAR REQUEST ON THE BOC-L NEWSGROUP. IT WOULD BE FAIR TO SAY THAT PEOPLE SUDDENLY BECAME VERY INTERESTED. NOW BEFORE WE GO ANY FURTHER I MUST STRESS AT THIS POINT THAT OUR INTENTION OF THIS PIECE WAS JUST TO HAVE A BIT OF FUN PRIMARILY AT "MAD HAWKWIND FANS EXPENSE", AND WHILST MANY PEOPLE GOT THIS, THERE WERE ALSO THOSE WHO IT WOULD BE FAIR TO SAY DIDN'T. SO WHAT WE HAVE DONE IS CUT AND PASTED SOME OF THE REPLIES TOGETHER IN THE HOPE THAT THEY MAKE FOR SOME ENTERTAINING READING. WE HAVE LEFT THEM ALL ANONYMOUS, BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY IF YOU WROTE IT YOU'LL RECOGNISE IT!

"I found this topic offensive" (what a start)

"I do too, but why do you keep replying to it?" (in reply to the above!)

"My other half declines to come to the PC knowing that it's anything to do
with HW"

"Although my mum isn't a fan of their music (though she does like some of the ambient stuff), she has read Robert Calvert's lyrics & has said that he must
have been a genius!"

" This music makes me feel nervous and uneasy"

"All their songs sound the same"

"If you tell us she is a country and western music fan I will die laughing.

The number of country and western music fans I've heard say other music
styles (in their respective genres) all sounds the same is amusing to say
the least." (a reply to the quote above!)

"What for? I don't understand why to separate one fans from others." (another reply to original question)

"Don't worry ***** - it's probably just a bloke thing. You and I know
that it's Hawkwind and the music that matters not the division into one
stereotypical fan type or another but.....(name removed for anonymity)"

"I think it's fascinating to get some "non-fan" perspectives on Hawkwind(both likes and dislikes),"

"This isn't exclusively a female thing, as friends and colleagues have
thought I was daft too. Having said that the wife endures the HW passion
with amused & bemused tolerance"

"Having said that. she's accompanied me to concerts, which she's hugely
enjoyed, especially the Summer 2002 fest."

AND THERE YOU HAVE IT, JUST A SMALL SELECTION OF THE REPLIES THAT WERE FORTHCOMING, SOME TAKING UP THE CHALLENGE AND OTHERS, WELL MAYBE NOT. WE WOULD JUST LIKE TO SAY THANKS TO ALL OF YOU WHO HAVE CONTRIBUTED, IF WE OFFENDED ANYBODY WE ARE GENUINELY SORRY IT WASN'T OUR INTENTION, WE BEG FORGIVENESS

FURTHER UPDATE

LIKE ANYTHING, FASHIONS CHANGE LIKE THE SEASONS AND IT WOULD BE FAIR TO SAY THAT WE HAD PRETTY MUCH GIVEN UP ON THIS PAGE UNTIL SAMANTHA A.K.A HAWKMUM RECENTLY GOT IN TOUCH TO HAVE HER SAY ON THE MATTER, TAKE IT AWAY SAM -
