Here are excerpts from 11 Bands With Weird Stories Behind Their Names, an MSM article by AM Smiley, edited by, additions by yours truly:
In Anne Rice’s The Vampire Lestat, the main character describes the world as “The Savage Garden.” Truly Madly Deeply.
Dexy’s Midnight Runners were named after Dexedrine, a drug popular with Brits who wanted to stay up all night. Come On, Eileen.
In Britain the term “Motorhead” is the equivalent of America’s “speed freak.” Hellraiser!
A musician’s brother came up with the word “Foghat” during a game of Scrabble. Slow Ride, take it easy.
A musician needed to use the restroom and was puzzled when the doors read “Chumba” and “Wamba.” Let’s go Tubthumping, expressing opinions in a loud and violent or dramatic manner.
The Backstreet Boys named themselves after the Backstreet Market in Orlando. Quit Playing Games (With My Heart).
Paul McCartney used the alias Paul Ramon when signing a hotel register. Dee Dee Ramone and bandmates followed suit. I Wanna Be Sedated.
That’s only seven. I didn’t find the others interesting. Photo from Google Images:
While watching a humorous post at youtube, this pic came up. Sorry it came out so small. The guy’s naked. From GI:
And continuing the fun, headline from foxnews.com: “Harris rally upstaged by man who brings map so VP can find the southern border.” Kudos, Sir.
Also from Pinterest:
Business picked up at the Anti-Inflation Book Shop on this gorgeous day characterized by a pleasant breeze. My thanks to the gentlemen who each dropped off a paperback and to my Constant Benefactress, who delivered five interesting works; and to the gentleman who seemed homeless, who bought a Justin Bieber concert DVD and paid with a faded dollar bill; and to Kim, who grossly overcompensated me for The Joy of Decorating: Southern Style with Mrs. Howard by Phoebe Howard; and to The Frenchman, who purchased a classical music collection; and to Rev, who I hadn’t seen in a while and who, as usual, stocked up on non-fiction, taking home A Tightly Raveled Mind by Diane Lawson, Sitting at the Feet of Rabbi Jesus: How the Jewishness of Jesus Can Transform Your Faith by Ann Spangler & Lois Tverberg, Women, Art, and Society by Whitney Chadwick, and The Jewish Way in Love & Marriage by Maurice Lamm.
