Michael Moorcock couldn't have been in more than one band, could he have? No, that would violate a fundamental logical rule: conservation of fantasy authors in rock groups, huh? Could you please demonstrate to us some more of your brilliant deductions? I await to be enlightened!

Deep Fix was even made up of members of Hawkwind. What a jerk! You have included only the parts of my message which enable you to "flame" me in an incredibly childish manner. The tone of the posting I was commenting on did not allow the possibility of MM being involved with more than one band. My posting was the first to mention the Deep Fix. Only Hawkwind was mentioned! So if I was following a "fundamental logical rule", it was because you were the first to postulate it. P.S. I too have edited the included article .. see how easy it is to make me look un-jerk-like? P.P.S I thought puppeteers aren't agressive ... unless, of course, they are mad. -- UUCP: ...!seismo!mcvax!ukc!dcl-cs!jam DARPA: jam%lancs.comp@ucl-cs | Post: University of Lancaster, JANET: jam@uk.ac.lancs.comp | Department of Computing, Phone: +44 524 65201 ext 4467 | Bailrigg, Lancaster, LA1 4YR, UK.

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. > My posting was the first to mention the Deep Fix. Only Hawkwind was > mentioned! 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. > So if I was following a "fundamental logical rule", it was because you > were the first to postulate it. I sugest you read more carefully in the futre and not read into things which were neither said nor implied. > P.S.

The way I phrased my comment above was childish and silly and I apologise to both you and Doug Rice (who flamed me for it). What had bothered me was NOBODY had mentioned the Deep Fix before I did and I do believe (rightly or wrongly) that this was MM's own band. I was aware of his involvement with Hawkwind. I'll try and be more sensible in future.
