HW: MoorHawk

[J Strobridge]

my apologies - I just checked my interview archive and find that although
Moorcock denied the early date of 1967 in connection with the dedication
he did answer a following question thusly:

                        ********************

> Is there any connection between the names "Hawkmoon" and "Hawkwind"?

"The answer, which also explains the dedication to Dave Brock, is yes.
Nik Turner and Dave Brock were readers of the Hawkmoon books and the
apocryphal story which Nik, I think, nowadays denies, is that the
first part of it came from a book by me and the second part of it
came from a fart by Nik!  Thus Hawkwind. "

                        *********************

I hope MM won't mind me quoting this since he appears also to have now
said more or less the same thing in the 25 years booklet - as someone
pointed out.

I completely mis-remembered this - sorry!   Guess I should always
remember to check my sources first......  8-(
