The connection between Michael Moorcock and Hawkwind has been mentioned
quite often in the last few weeks, up to <whoeveritwas> who commented
that Moorcock had written a book about the band entitled _Time of the
Hawklords_.  

	I do believe that Moorcock actually "created" the band in his books
about Jerry Cornelius, the elusive, needlegun-toting anti-hero who is
*** SLIGHT SPOILER *** actually a punk kid from London.  In _The Condition
of Muzak_, at any rate, and perhaps even in _The English Assassin_, Jerry
is a member of the bank Hawkwind.  So far as I know, the *real* band got
their inspiration from this.

	Anybody know for sure?
