Just doing my part to pimp Lemmy the Movie, allegedly coming out this year. I don't need to yammer on about how awesome this could be - why belabor the obvious?
I will share my secret hope, though: that the appearance in the documentary by Lemmy's old Hawkwind pals Dave Brock and Stacia will lead to a resurgence of interest in Time of the Hawklords, Michael Moorcock's breathtaking 1976 period piece, which is unforgettable and yet somehow still unjustly forgotten. Perhaps Moorcock wanted it that way. Nevertheless, I will never let the world forget this book. How could I? It features the members of Hawkwind as reluctant heroes in an apocalyptic, hallucinatory science-fiction story of sonic warfare. And as Moorcockian heroes go, they're a lot more fun to spend page time with than, say, Elric.
