Bread And Circuses
An AI Explanation of the phrase: The phrase "Give them bread and circuses, and they will never revolt" is a popular paraphrase of a sentiment from the Roman poet Juvenal, criticising how rulers pacify the masses with food and entertainment to avoid political unrest. It describes a strategy to control the population by distracting them from civic duties.

Michael Moorcock: His Collaborations With Hawkwind and The Blue Öyster Cult
Introduction: On Michael Moorcock I first came across Michael Moorcock in the seventies through listening to Hawkwind, and that brought me to the four-book Runestaff set, which then introduced me to so many Multiverse novels and the Celtic Mythology Books of Corum of The Silver Hand, and Elric The Albino Stealer of Souls with his Black Blade, Stormbringer.
