TGIF! We’re halfway through the year! And the offseason! And the NBA’s alien is playing a game soon. Let’s get going.
Word Count Filler Time
This is a fun topic for an incurious idiot like myself. How, where, and why did those band names originate? Here’s some to fill this space.
Cheap Trick
The band was hungry and had an Ouija board handy, so they asked it what to have for dinner. The answer was Cheap Trick.
Bread
The group was traveling together, got stuck in a traffic jam, and the car in front was a Wonder Bread truck.
Marilyn Manson
Well, this is pretty obvious. Marilyn Monroe + Charles Manson. Mix and match, and blammo!
Alice In Chains
You’d have to be a fan of The Honeymooners to know this one. The husband Ralph once he’d like to see his wife Alice, in chains. Kinky or foreboding?
Soundgarden
Here in Seattle we have a little modern art structure called A Sound Garden. It’s twelve 21 foot towers with an organ pipe attached to a weather vane at the top. Any wind will cause the pipe to produce sounds. Sadly, public access to the area was closed in 2023.
Righteous Brothers
Early in their live shows an audience member shouted at them, “That’s righteous, brothers!”
Hootie and the Blowfish
The band leader, Darius, took this from the nicknames of two friends in college. The first was Hootie, so named because his wide set eyes reminded folks of an owl. The scone was Blowfish because of his pronounced cheeks. And no, neither friend is a part of the band.
Moby
He at times claims to be a descendent of Herman Melville, the author of Moby Dick. At other times, he claims it’s an acronym of “master of beats, y’all.” Either way, he’s a land of contrasts that sucks.
The more you know and all. Let’s move on.
