Having just read Carol Clerk's 600 page brick The Saga of Hawkwind, it's amazing how a group founded on hippy collective principles such as peace and love and not getting possessive about the bread, man, should have foundered into a sea of seething mutual hatreds, fist-fights, and suspicions that one or two people who didn't do nearly as many drugs as the rest managed to corner 80% of the money - or at least the left-overs after various managements, promotion agencies and record companies trousered the rest... Ms Clerk's magnum opus reads like a manual for ripping off a bunch of naive un-clued-up hippie stoner musicians, at every conceivable level and every conceivable way, once serious money starts to come in... noting that this has been a consistent source of material for this page, anecdotes and bits of the band's history which have been extensively rewritten and matched to valid tropes.

Not running from addressing all the identified ZCE's, it's just that there are suddenly a lot of them - I'm really surprised there are so many, the page has been here for way over a decade and examples that have been there, unremarked, for all that time have been identified as ZCE. I think I'll need to check out the policy on what constitutes a ZCE, just to make absolutely sure I'm on the right track, before I get to grips with dealing with them. Thanks to Hello 83433 for pointing them out, anyway.
