Notice no Stan action this evening. I imagine him at the venue now, popcorn in hand. Really enjoying it

Wrong. The quote on the cover is about the album cover, not the whole album.
Jet was the driving force behind the MiB idea.

And JJB wrote the song Meninblack prior to HAC being in Pentonville.

I'm currently in Newcastle and it's been pretty good so far. No sign of Stan though :grin:

Hugh probably did the concept idea but he didn't make the connection between the Bible and UFOs though as i remember reading a book about that subject well before the Meninblack album came out. It was an already thought out theory and interpretations already made from the stories in the Bible. Chariots of something or other it was called
I remember at the time of reading thinking how ridiculous it is, and dismissing the idea as it was so long ago, how could they have been here thousands of years ago. Now of course with more knowledge thousands of years is nothing but a blink of an eye compared to the big bang that happened 13.6 billion years ago. We could easily be a million years behind another distant civilisation.

My past interest in UFOs certainly made me fascinated with the Meninblack album.

Or so it's claimed. It could be strongly argued that the band basically grew out of Hugh's old band.

He may have been the initial spark of inspiration due to the literature he was reading, but it was Hugh that moulded those disparate ideas of UFOs and bible stories into the concept. Unless you're suggesting Jet wrote the lyrics, which he didn't.
