I must go off on something that has been bothering me for quite some time now, which is eponymous band names. I'm sick and tired of every other band being called "The (Insert Name Here) Band". It started with the Dave Matthews band and since then it seems like there are a thousand bands like this. What happened to creativity in this country? If you listen to these bands' music, it's obvious that this aforementioned creativity was lost on these particular acts, and not just in naming themselves. I saw two guys (yes, two of them) on a local TV morning show this morning called the Ben Nelson Band and guess what? They sucked. Just because you can put words to chords doesn't mean that you're entitled to spread aural air pollution. Can we please have a moratorium on this? I realize that some of these morons out there may have already killed millions of brain cells, but how about using what little cerebral function you have left to come up with a somewhat creative band name? Thanks.
