Bullcrud!  You were replying to me, and I have known for years that
Michael Moorcock was in both Hawkwind and Deep Fix.  He's also helped to
write songs for Blue Oyster Cult.  No one EXCEPT *you*, ever talked
about *the* band that Michael Moorcock was involved with.  The current
discussion was about whether or not Hawkwind got their name from a
Moorcock story or whether Moorcock got the name from Hawkwind.  The
second case is the true one.

That's because if you've mentioned Hawkwind, you've mentioned Deep Fix!
Deep Fix *is* Hawkwind!  They just changed their name because they got
some old people who had left the band to join in and because Moorcock
sang (which he didn't do with Hawkwind) and wrote lots of stuff for it
and probably led the effort.

Hawkwind was at times called Hawkwind Zoo, Hawklords, Sonic Assassins,
etc.

I sugest you read more carefully in the futre and not read into things
which were neither said nor implied.

I'm not convinced!

Well, that's why I'm Nessus....
