Now that movie is iconic - I was never sure if the "Monolith" sketch related to Black Sabbath or Hawkwind's "Atomhenge" set until I looked today... ;D

  ;)  It's here at my work today, Marty had sent me a bunch of pics under two different light sources, I honestly didn't know which was "correct" and choose one. Here's a cell pic near sunlight on a nice October day here in the Northern Hemisphere.....

Danke, Mark. Now I'm not alone with my SPCB. Mutual bad taste has something comforting. You have given the adjective "garish" new meaning. Gutes Mädchen!

Well it does have to compete with that hot pink guitar case. I'll bet it will look great in front of  a little black dress.
