Beto O'Rourke wins the endorsement of the original 'Psychedelic Warlord,' David Brock

“From one Psychedelic Warlord to another, Dave sends Beto his best wishes and hopes he finds Utopia for the American people,” Brock’s spokesperson said in an email from England. Hawkwind’s wild live shows, which featured extended jams, pulsating lights, and often a naked dancer named Stacia, became the stuff of legend. And their anarchic style helped spawn the punk rock movement.
O’Rourke was also a bass player when he played with a punk rock band called Foss in the 1990s and a couple of other combos before giving it all up for a career in business and, later, politics.
