MR>    That's what I thought, too.  I don't know *exactly* when Kings' w

I've got a small collection of King's books and I just checked various 
notes in them concerning the author. It appears his earliest works are 
those now known as the Bachman books, which include Running Man and 
Thinner, now movies. Those books were written in the late 60's to early 
70's. The first one published under King's name, Carrie, came out in 74.
So, yeah, it would certainly appear far more likely that King based The 
Crimson King on the band than vice versa.
