Never coming down. That was the message, the ethos of this ramshackle
club of gloriously demented cerebral astropilots; Don't ever come back
down to earth. Leave the fog and grime of reality behind and stay up
here, up here where the air is clear and the last thing anybody has the
time, or inclination, to do is talk about the mundane. Leave that for
the unenlightened. Let them pay their taxes and press their shirts
ready for the monday morning rat-race, we have far more important
things on our radar. Life, love and music have no forms to fill in or
regulatory bodies to appease. No, my friends, up here above the clouds
is where we must stay for, as we know, time waits for no man and no
time is all we have to fit it all in. This was an ethos held by a
people whose only possessions were belief, and a dogged determination
to realise their crazy and wonderful dreams.
This was the secret society for the vibrantly unhinged. A very
special place where the visionary few would conveine to lock horns
about the super-stellar issues that the greyfolk could never, or
possibly would never, dare to take on. A place where ideological
happiness is of paramount importance and where orderliness and
regulation are treated with a disdain and a vitriol usually reserved
only for the most vile and unpleasant of beasts. This was a place where
the good, the great, the chic and the scruffy could all drink, sing and
tell stories right through until their shaded glasses met the first
pioneering rays of silver morning sunshine. This, my friends, is
home...
