Schoolboy error
Many years ago, I was waiting for Hawkwind to come on. The support band were, as is traditional, utter shite. It was not going well, partly because their style wasn't so much playing their songs as switching them on and waiting for them to finish - but mainly because they were shite. Their smoke machine had malfunctioned, obscuring them from view for some time, which was quite amusing, but the tumbleweed silences that greeted the end of every song must have been disheartening.

They decided, in the strange logic of the desperate, that the best idea to get the hostile crowd on their side was to attempt a cover of the main band's most famous hit, Silver Machine. If there's a rule book for support bands, Rule 1 should be "Never ever play a crap 'interpretation' of the song that most of the audience are waiting to hear from the headliners, or you'll get bottled off the stage".

Hawkwind and not one mention of MASSIVE drugs.

If it's any consolation
The guy next to me handed me a large spliff at that point.

Happy now?
