What's In A Name?
(From Newsday,com, 8-31-03)
It's not uncommon for boomer parents to be perplexed by their kids' CD collections. In many households, one might hear the following diatribe: "My God, if the tattoos and piercings aren't bad enough, what's up with some of these bands' names? Back in our day, our bands had names that made sense." Oh really? A comparison between the two generations might be instructive:
BOOMERS' ROCK BANDS
The Strawberry Alarm Clock
13th Floor Elevators
Chocolate Watchband
Electric Prunes
Peanut Butter Conspiracy
Crazy World of Arthur Brown
TODAY'S ROCK BANDS
Alien Ant Farm
Smile Empty Soul
Dashboard Confessional
Queens of the Stone Age
Vendetta Red
All-American Rejects

how about PINK FLOYD!
i don't get it. that's like bringing up ADAM ANT.

neverthemind
don't forget: sam the sham and the pharoahs
YOU can't possibly remember them! we're talking 1960s here.
That was a silly thing to say. That's like saying to me "You can't possibly remember the Beatles because that was a long time ago" or "You can't remember Adam and Eve..you weren't born then" but ahah..I was!
HAHAHAHAHHAHHA that comment REALLY made me laugh
thanx lynz...my sentiments exactly.
duh.....i didnt think anyone ever heard of them, thats why i said tha. to compare them to the beatles and adam and eve is ludicrious.
ludicrous? that's someone completely different
wooly bully!!!!!!!!!!!
QUEENS M/ RULES
queens of the stone age? or queen?
he means Queens of the Stone Age. but we like Queen too.
poor bi-Feddie, the AIDS got him.(Sow/reap)
repent sinners, your day of reckoning draws near
We have a Freddie Mercury fan in the house.
Well, when i get a dog.. i'm gonna name him PEEPSHOW.. so i can call him PEEPS for short.. his real name would be PEEPS HOW . dogs gotta have a first and last name. anyway .. i want a half boxer half pit.. anyone know of any puppies being given or sold. i want one ASAP.
I think those dogs are so ugly that they're cute! That's the kind I want.
what ! ugly ?!?! ohhh man.. PeepsHOW will so eat you . they're tough, you dont need to look pretty when you're tough. you just eat people. or i want one of those pit bull terriers or boxer terriers.. i dont know.. i'm just making stuff up know.. but i definately want a half breed of boxer or pit... a full pit is cool too. but peepsHOW might eat me.
names that made sense? Thats lame...sometimes you have to look a bit deeper then "n'sync" (oh ho ho...get it! They are in sync with each other...what a great name!)
If i had a band...i'd name it urban smores
hahahahaha. i like it!! our bands name is 2 Fat 4 Spandex because everyone is.
haha, we were just discussing this....spandex should never have been made, because nobody looks good in it
that was meant to be sarcastic, i didnt write it some guy from Newsday did.
i know, i wouldn't have been nearly as mean if i thought you wrote it. I would have gone with the simple, "i disagree"
I hate when people write into newspapers all opinionated about things....especially when their opinions are wrong
hahaha. usually these articles are in the opinions page so they're allowed to say what they want.
