way too late probably
but
Donita, the principle souce for the all too real rock lore was a guitarist from Status Quo
It all makes sense really
The scene where they couldn’t escape from the tubes was from a Be Bop Deluxe concert where Bill Nelson was trapped in a pod
THe little Stonehenge, well I think that was original ;)

Thanks Mack. I don’t know much about Status Quo except the awesome Pictures Of Matchstick Men. Looking into them now.

As to the the spin I’m in, I’ve had to convert a bunch of my old tunes to higher quality mp3s recently and I hadn’t listened to this one in a while so I guess since this is deep into the EPU zone, I’ll share it.
