hawkwind name

[Dan Witt]

I received this from a member of the AC list I'm on.
Has anybody ever heard this story before:



> I've got this book about how rock bands got their names. Saw Hawkwind and I
> thought of you. (I hardly knew there was a band called Hawkwind until you mentioned
> it on SickThings.)
>
> Anyway, you probably already know this but ...
> Lemmy says they got the name because the sax and flute player, Nick Turner, had
> a big nose and he farted alot. It was Hawkwind Zoo before that but he says it
> was still for the same reason. He says there is no such place as Hwakwind Zoo in
> London.
> Anyway, that's what Lemmy say.


Sounds like just a myth to me, but I don't how they got the name.
