"Motorhead" is the eponymous song of the British hard rock band of the same name.
 It was originally recorded by the space rock band Hawkwind, of whom the song's author, Motörhead frontman Ian "Lemmy" Kilmister, had been a member from 1971 to 1975.
 It was the last song that he had written for them, but it had only been released as the B-side of the single "Kings of Speed", in March 1975.
 In May of that year, Lemmy was fired from Hawkwind and formed a new band, naming it after the song.
 It indicated the direction in which he planned to go: hard rock, not space rock.
 Motörhead recorded two new versions of the song later that year, one as part of a demo session with producer Dave Edmunds and then another as part of the sessions for what was meant to have been Motörhead's debut album.
 However, their record label, United Artists Records, decided to shelve the project and dropped the band without releasing any of the material.
 Over a year later, the song was recorded yet again for Chiswick Records, during the session for their actual debut album and was released ahead of it, in June 1977, as their second 7" single.
Mike Zwerin (May 18, 1930 – April 2, 2010) was an American cool jazz musician and author.
 Zwerin as a musician played the trombone and bass trumpet within various jazz ensembles.
 He was active within the jazz and progressive jazz musical community as a session musician.

 Although he gained notoriety for his writing, he may be best known to the public for his work with Miles Davis in 1948 as part of his "Birth of the Cool" band.

Ron Terpening (born Ronnie Harold Terpening on May 3, 1946) is an American writer, professor of Italian, and editor.
 Though he started his writing career as an author of young-adult fiction, where the father/son conflict is a major theme, he is best known for his later novels of suspense, most of which are set, at least in part, in Italy, reflecting his academic background as a scholar of Italian culture.
 His thriller "League of Shadows", for example, deals with the Fascist Era in Italy and its aftermath in the contemporary world.
 A later international thriller, "Nine Days in October", came out of the author’s course research on the forces of order and disorder in contemporary Italy and follows a band of criminals and ex-terrorists as they attempt to carry out an assassination plot.
 All of his novels, including "Storm Track" and "Tropic of Fear", the latter set in Paraguay, are noted for their strong sense of place.
 In most of his novels, his protagonist is usually a common man placed in a situation where powerful forces are arrayed against him.
