You'll be glad to learn I've come to my senses, thanks to a gentle reminder to take the meds. I've talked to most everyone in the band (well, to one, but he had another call,) and we agreed we've been The Brat Pack for too long. We've gone by this name for over ten years, and while it's useful for letting everyone know when and where we're playing, it really does seem fair to move on and let someone else try it for a while. Why not give a brother a break, sharing the fruits of our labor with those not fortunate to have done it first? I've got a few catchy replacement names in mind: Dave Chappelle's Show, FoxNews, Paris Hilton, and X-Krush, to name but a few. But why not go further, turning our time of transition into a huge publicity stunt? I propose a contest wherein the dear reader may submit the very best new name (we get to choose it, though, right?) and win some cash, say five hundred crisp, new, stripper-scented US dollars. Is everyone on board?

Name That Band

NOW you're cooking with depleted uranium! That's how it ought to be.
If it's alright, I'd like to propose a few names that crossed my mind this morning while driving to work. The Chick Corea Elektric Band, Champaign Urbana Symphony under the direction of Ian Hobson, Sigfried and Roy, Brat Pack Radio, Adam Wolf and the Wolfhouds, Mighty Pranksters, and lastly, The But Pack. Those are my ideas.

Are you guys being sarcastic? Humor is a dangerous game, kittens, and sometimes people get hurt.
Guido just called on the emergency crisis line to suggest that we rename the band "Red Bull" and then change the name to "Sugar Free Red Bull" but only for this weekend, and then after that he'll let us try Dave's suggestion "FT to the TB."
The stripper dollars should go to me for thinking of the new band name "Let's Fire the Chick Singer." That's the best suggestion so far.
