You never know what might show up on this Blog

This, for example, from my good friend Nick Corey, a guitar man and would-be American Idol star. He wants name suggestions for his two-man band. He promises great wealth to the winner. Or something. Please help out a poor West Side boy. Live Big (Head Todd and the Monsters)


Paul--I've seen you plug bands on your blog...I'm not going to ask you to plug my two-man accoustic deal (in which Guitar Maestro Sean McGary--of local party band Marsha Brady-- and myself play awesome versions of Springsteen, Pearl Jam, Fuel, Violent Femmes, Van Morrison, Snow Patrol, John Denver, and many, many others). I wouldn't stoop so low to ask for a plug (though we are at J Taps on Glenway in Western Hills on Saturday night). HOWEVER, places we play are asking us what our band name is so they can hang fliers the week leading up to our playing in their bars, and we sheepishly have to admit we don't have one. We've thought about "Two Irish Guys"...but folks might show up expecting authentic Irish Music...that's not happening.=.thought about Tammy Why Not?...but someone else stole it...thought about Free Beer, but realized a marquee displaying "Free Beer here Saturday Night!" would definitely cause a Who concert-type throng on the West Side...particularly if the crowd thinks it's Hudy Delight...SO...Since you go "off" sports on your blog frequently, how about telling people that you're accepting name ideas for a two-man accoustical gig that plays around town...if we pick a winner from a submission, that individual gets a free drink on us of his or her choice (Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, or anything else the bar just MIGHT offer) if they ever come to one of our gigs.
