(Hawkwind at WIndsor Free Festival, 1973)

My last adventures: not so many, really.

A great prog rock album by a great hard rock band: Hawkwind, and their Doremi Fasol Latido and a reunion with some friends about a fanzine we manage.

Hawkwind are a good progressive hard rock band and its prime was in the 70's when they had Nik Turner and Lemmy (who, later, abandoned the band for creating Motorhead, one of the best heavy metal groups of all time). The sound of Hawkwind is very cool, kind of spacey and with lots of effects. Their lyrics had a lot of science fiction references ("space is deep", "lord of light", "ejection" are just three of the examples) and i recommended it for 70's hard rock afficionados.

Here is a video for you. Hawkwind - "Urban Guerilla":

The video is not that good. But the song, taken from the album Doremi Fasol Larido, is. I guess the version on youtube is live

The other thing: I and some friends of mine created a literature fanzine in the "Faculdade de Letras" of Lisbon (kind of college of Literature). Our main purpose is to create a controversial, but very good literature journal. Last wednesday, we were discussing the design of the cover, some texts we might write for the next number, how many copies we might distribute, etc. I am so proud of them (of us!). I am older than them and I'm not even student of the college, but I was invited by them to join the league of the crazy writers LOL! I am hopeful that, someday, I might be read by the future writers and teachers
