Lemmy did seem like that dude didn't he someone l, who just appreciated it all.
At least in our older age we've been able to appreciate it, I still hear of many metalheads in forums and YouTube comments degrading one subgenre of metal saying that's not real metal or even real music. It's like, cmon guys listen to the artists, listen to the talent behind the sound, then suddenly you start to appreciate it all a whole lot more don't you.
In the immortal words of Henke Port - good music is good music.
Sheesh, that's pretty dire. Harsh words and tribalism are a social media staple though.
Glad we're not into to that kind of mindset anymore...
As an aside, although I didn't see Lemmy perform.
I did once go to a very Hawkwindesque gig with the late Nik Turner and band and Hawkwind's dancer Stacia (body painted of course). They performed after a screening of Michael Moorcock's film adaptation of The Final Programme.
I see Lemmy described Stacia as 6 ft 2 inches (188 cm) tall with a 52 inch (132 cm) bust and a bookbinder by trade.
I can verify that what Lemmy said was correct - all I could think that night was, 'Boy, I bet she could bind some books'.

I was fortunate to catch motorhead at download and they were excellent. Didn't disappoint at all.
