      james west They lost so much when Alan left, his bass playing was excellent, just aint the same without him. However, his current band, Psychedelic Warlords were excellent with a superb frontman, Craig High. I say they 'were' great, I'm not sure now, Alan sacked Craig a few weeks ago and it's utter madness. Not only was Craig an incredible performer but a total sweetheart too.

      Seems like a poor-man's Lemmy to me.
      Anyways, the lyrics to this track...I looked it up & is it really "Black September" & "Petro Dollar" ? Black September? What does that mean?! 9/11 prediction or something? Haha.

      Child of God Calvert had a lot of empathy for the Palestinians.
      As for the bass issue in Hawkwind, the arrival of Haz Wheaton has given a happy ending, great player and has a fab rapport with Brock.

      @Careful with that Vax Euegene It essentially links the ancient assassins with hashish and the then current Arab conflicts. Black September was the war between the PLO and the Jordanian monarchy. It was also the name of a terror group that carried out the Munich Olympic killings. Petrodollar is of course a reference to oil wealth. This was released just after the first oil shock, when Arab countries withheld oil supplies as a protest - causing a spike in fuel costs and inflation in the West.

      @globulant99 6 років тому +7

      The songs are one and the same. They refer Hassan i Sabbah who would ply his trainee assassins with hashish and in their drug induced stupor allow them to sample the pleasures of the 'Garden of Delights'. Having had 'Heaven' revealed to them, they would go forth as fearless killers. Knowing what rewards awaited them if they died in the service of Allah. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hassan-i_Sabbah

      The assassins were an Ismaili Shi'ite sect that made use of political killing - and gave their name to secretive killers everywhere. The name may refer to their liberal use of hashish. The Black September Organization were a Palestinian terror group named after the Jordanian civil war.
