6. Oasis

[MysticMichael]

Sorry, you're on your own. You must be a creative type, right? So burn a few brain cells on the project, and earn it for yourself...

Hey Brandon. A few years ago I was sitting around with some very well known musicians, and we were kicking around some band names.

The one that stuck with me for fifteen years, was " Feeding Anthony".

It makes no sense unless you know who Anthony is, but I always thought it sounded very cool

Feeding Anthony.

lol.

[TimBosby]

The perfect name for your band:

The Crampons

I've always wanted to use this but I just can't see myself in a band called the Crampons.

Because I don't rock-climb.

Knob

or

Sweater Hogans

[Spector_Ray]

I went to a website that generated band names and it suggested Genghis and the Cons or Waste Disposal Unit. Either is good.

OK, OK. How about this one:

Sir Real and the Weak-End Knights...

You're welcome...

What I want you to grasp here is that this is a severely abridged list. There are four to five times this many names. And as bad as some of the ones I posted are, these are the good ones. I have kept the notebook because it has other things in it that are actually useful to me. But every once in a while I remember that, elsewhere in that notebook is THE LIST .

Enjoy.

And I'm sure Golden Boy will be along soon with his traditional suggestion.

I'm up to two suggestions.

Pink Unicorn Horsey- (although it works best with Swedish Death Metal "featuring former members of Goatporker, Gangrenous Footwound and My Fuzzy Bunny")

Pink Nightmare.

It speaks for itself.

But was it taken in 1988 when I wrote that list?

I HAVE explained about the tie-dyed bib overalls haven't I?

After someone videotaped one of our shows I discovered that my habit of wearing almost entirely black clothing, while playing a black bass with black hardware and an ebony fretboard, was something of a mistake, even though black is supposed to be slimming. I looked like a disembodied floating head drifting around the middle mic stand.

So I endeavored to be more visually noticeable on stage. This is never a good thing from someone who has spent his entire clothing history trying to blend in.

So, at the outdoor folk music festival that I like so much, I encountered a vendor who did the best tie-dyes ever. I told her I wanted something to make me really stand out. At first I was picturing a duster. Somehow, along the way we switched to a set of painter's bib overalls. When I bought them and shipped them to her She asked what pattern I wanted them done in. I told her "Just make them really bright."

That's what we call a tactical error. She made them a 'spectrum spiral' pattern. This is apparently a swirly rainbow. Two problems come from this. One I was unaware of. The other, I just didn't think about in advance.

Right around this time, or very soon afterward, the gay community adopted the rainbow as a symbol. That's right. The same collection of colors I was wearing on stage. Also, when making a spiral tie-dye pattern, the middle of the garment becomes the center of the pattern, and the focus of attention. On a shirt, this is over the heart. On bib-alls, it's the crotch.

I still own them. My daughter wore them as a Halloween costume last year or the year before. She went as a clown.
