If they rocked
Down in a comment thread yesterday, a few of us started working on an important issue that wasn't really in the main post. This is significant enough that it merits a discussion of its own. The burning question is this:

I dunno, I kinda like "Stench". Works with the Spinal Tap picture and the whole hard rock motif...
Posted by Jon | March 15, 2007 10:19 AM
Speaking of "Spinal Tap" how about calling the City Council Band "Revenue Tap"?

Whatever their band name, it's obvious they wouldn't have clue what their manager was doing with their money.
And not bother to find out.

That's Erik to you.
Erik and the Traminals is a good one, especially for fans of this real band.
Posted by Jack Bog | March 15, 2007 1:13 PM
Oops, you're right - Erik it is. Sorry.
I'm trying to think of something that echoes 'Herman's Hermits' but haven't been successful yet.

"Homer's Harlots?"
Yes! I can't improve on that, at least as far as any take-off from the name 'Herman's Hermits' is concerned!

I do find it funny being a lifelong Spinal Tap fan that there music is now being used to sell to the geriactric generation. I always thought they had more principal and morals than yoko
