Oh and the BOC song, “Black Blade” is about Stormbringer, an evil sword that steals souls, made famous in the Michael Moorcock (unfortunate name) series about Elric of Melnibone. Another interesting side note is, Lemmy, formally of Hawkwind (now of course with Motorhead) said that Moorcook used to come out and read poetry before Hawkwind shows, which makes sense since Hawkwind was another one of his characters…
