An extract from a sociological study by Mike Olsen, called; ‘Hell’s Angels – A Key To Unlock The Head Of Uptight Society.’ Arkadin Press, 197-
‘Mess around with the Angels and you mess around with the inside of your own nightmares. Tangle with the men in blue denim riding stinking keening high and few far across a lone Bergman skyline death on their shoulders and dope burning up their veins and you tangle only with your cave sabre-tooth past’
‘Side with Hayes, big Daddy security blanket Hayes, Leader of Light, watching over the small children. For him you can Kill an Angel for God. For him you can band in your friendly neighbourhood ghettoes and stab and hunt and kill the animals that threaten your pure Anglo-Saxon wife and fair-headed, blue-eyed children. Vigilante. Vigilance. Keep a vigilant vigil on your plasterboard castle, walls thin and tumbling down, down, down into dark.’
‘Underground Angels. Hiding from light and riding the night. Alone. Mrs Middle-Class’s favourite rape fantasy nightmare. You wouldn’t want your daughter to marry one, your son to become one, your wife to encounter one late at night, your husband to ... anything. Fill in the blank yourself.’
‘Where did they come from, where do they go? Out of poverty and dissatisfaction in rural urban Amerika. Get stuffed white-collar Republican! Freedom-riding, easy-riding. Take the freeway down to Oakland and see how the Angels grow. Black disaster at Altamont. Rock ‘n’ Roll murder. Just one of the days that the Music died.’
‘Now they’re here and gone in England. Look over your shoulders, people. Walk gentle into the good night, but watch the shadow that rustles unseen in the hedgerows. Careful, mister. Don’t turn your head! Because you know a fiend that you helped make doth close behind you tread. Waiting for you to make one mistake. Then it will be on you. Mighty, nails rending, teeth tearing at your throat’
‘Remember what Himmler said. Remember who Himmler was. Remember that this is a quote that the Angels like. Remember. As you are, so I was. As I am, so you will be. Remember.’
‘For the Angels that ride up from the eighth circle of a new Renaissance Hell. There is only one way they can live. They must go on. On and up. Through blood to the stars!’
