MR>    I know the name `The Crimson King' is also used for a character in a
MR>  book called "Insomnia" by Stephen King, but I've always thought that he
MR>  got the name from the band rather than the other way around.  I don't
MR>  have a copy of the book here, but I'm pretty sure it was published
MR>  after 1969, when Pete Sinfield was first credited with making up the
MR>  name.
Insomnia was published in the late 80's or early 90's, and the story you 
relate about sinfield is accurate I believe.
