    Yeah, lovely and unreal read...thanx. :) . Actually, few people speak about another song by the Arrows from that period called "Mind transferral".....a real psychedelic 'nugget' of all time....preceded 'stoner' songs by years. Regarding Wild Angels being a Nazi-biker movie, I have my doubts.....Iron Crosses and swastikas have always been rock icons but that doesn't mean the people who used them were right-wing.....the same controversy happened yrs later with the "SS" in KISS......history repeating :)

    The Wild Angels movie was a bit racy and shocking to me, upon first viewing. After that, it just became sort of camp. It is best viewed as an adolescent fantasy. The wild and crazy antics of the characters are not to be emulated.

    Davie Allan, in real life, is a very kind, gentle, polite fellow. Even though he wrote soundtracks for a lot of "biker hoodlum" movies, you couldn't meet a more personable, friendly, accessible and genuinely decent fellow. He is a great musician, keeps creating new music to this day. His web site is www DOT davieallan DOT com He'd love to hear from you.

    Davie Allan is nice but he is the serial fuzz guitarist lurking in a dark alley on guitar!
