They kept Gloarantha going for me, and broke fresh ground almost every edition. I felt that if a work of such quality could still be produced that RQ would return some day. So I waited and waited, and my hair went grey, but I kept the faith, and now look! RQG is a reality, but I am now an ancient grognard. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My friend Bert and I were having pretty much this conversation the other day: "Agent" "Yeah" " you know how when we were younger we'd go to see Hawkwind, and we'd look at the blokes at the bar with their paunches and the grey hair and the salt and pepper stubble?"

My friend Bert and I were having pretty much this conversation the other day: I went to a couple of family funerals this year and remarked to my cousin, who is a few years older then me, that I used to go to family occasions and look for the people with white hair, as that would be my Nan, Grandad, or later on my Aunts and Uncles, but now it is us. 5 Quote Simon Phipp - Caldmore Chameleon - Wallowing in my elitism since 1982.
