Yeah, well as Captain, Brock apparently threw most of the original crew
overboard!
My question: Since Brock was clearly not the sole inventor of the Hawkwind
phenomenon, what gives him exclusive rights to the name?
As for the Grateful Dead analogy, if Garcia were the sole remaining member of
that group,
I GUARANTEE he would never be presumptuous enough to refer to it as the Dead.

(Apologies for reigniting this scurvy subject....)
