Couldn't agree more about the ruined castle look too! I've heard a lot of people say that when I've been passed it on the train.

Also quite disappointing. That power plant in Baltimore was also an indoor amusement park for a (very) short while – 1985-1989. Also quite disappointing.

Yes, you're quite right about Brock v. Turner. Also, to give some credit to Pink Floyd, it was Roger Waters' idea to have a giant pig floating over a notable building. Hipgnosis suggested the power station but they also tried to get the band to accept a very different cover design which was a lot less dramatic. The band stuck to their guns and Hipgnosis in their books admit it was the correct decision. Ha! Yes, you’re quite right about Brock v. Turner.

A disused power plant on the Baltimore Harbor has been successfully repurposed as a restaurant-and-retail center, a monument to consumer culture. Rather disappointing. Finally, the "rancorous" Floyd? It seems to me the Brock-Turner feud is no less rancorous. I did not know that was the Battersea control room on that Hawkwind cover; thank you for enlightening me.
