The further adventures of Dave Brock:



"What do you mean, Ronnie James Dio has sole rights to this gesture?!?"



"I can see you up there, Lemmy... this is my stash of magic pink-flower-type psychedelics..."



"oooohhh.... that's better....."



"Whaddya mean, Nik Turner's still touring under the name 'Space Ritual'?"

More jolly japes with Dave The Rave next week, folks...
