* Music/{{Hawkwind}}, in the song "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cEwmz6YvyI4 Assault And Battery...]]", start out promisingly with some very profound lyrics.
-->Lives of great men all remind us
-->We can make our lives sublime,
-->And, departing, leave behind us
-->Footprints on the sands of time;

the problem is that these are lifted from Longfellow's poem ''A Psalm of Life''.[[note]]Henry Wadsworth receives no songwriting credit, however[[/note]] Hawkwind's continuation lyrics display a lot less inspiration:

-->On these stones, the sacred circle
-->Where the wizard sages sat;
-->Let us try to remember
-->All the times where they were at!
