I find it hard to beieve that Hawkwind got their name from Nik's nose
and the fact that he farted a lot. For a start weren't they called
Hawkwind before Nik joined?

I've always thought it was a referece to the Aeon of Horus, the Hawk-
headed God as postulated by Crowley among others. (Ya know, the "Wind Of
Change" etc.) I thought Nik's original Sphynx work bore this out to a
degree. I was going to ask Dave in the Cyber-Interview but was too busy
"holding the centre" at the time!

Any thoughts?
