I don't even think that the music from the 60's was quite so important. Sure a lot of the songs were preaching peace and love, or in protest of a war, but other than to take the then teenagers mind off of it, it isn't as if they really did anything.

I suppose it could probably be argued that the songs back then had more substance, or at least some meaning, but I listened to all my parent's old albums when I was a kid, and all I heard was a bunch of thinly veiled (if that) drug references.

My Mother likes to point out that John Lennon was actually kicked out of the USA for speaking out against the war, but she -like most who make that argument- completely neglects to mention that he was a resident alien with multiple drug charges against him at the time. Come to think of it, what would she have done/said if I had been idolizing some drug addict who was so vociferously against the government when I was her age?

All of which has nothing to do with band names. But let's face it, if you have it in you to name your daughter "Moon Unit", you probably have enough of a sense of humor to chuckle at a page that gives arbitrary ratings to bands based on nothing but their names poking a bit of fun at you. Their fans, maybe not so much.

 

The band name section is pretty weird and most readers must think it is the product of a twisted mind belonging to a spoiled brat who has nothing better to do with his time than to write off-the-wall evaluations of band names.

The writing is not that good, the "humor" is not very funny, but at least the writer amused and keeps amusing himself by drawing emails he can write about and keep from getting even more bored.

Get a real job and do something productive for yourself, if not for your mate, or even society.

 

Well I asked for it, but come on, have some subtlety... When I say I never get any mails saying the band names aren't funny, it doesn't work if you post that in the comments of the same thread! You've got to wait a few weeks and mail as if you never heard the initial request. Sheesh, do I have to explain everything around here?
