A Plagiaristic Poem Of Band And Musician Name Origins
Sometimes We Wonder Where Band And Musicians Names Come From, Well I Do
Introduction
I am just listening to Fleetwood Mac's "Tusk" after listening to Camper Van Beethoven's remake of the same album, and that could be a Vocal story in itself, but here is the task I have set myself. Fourteen Band names and a brief explanation of the same in the form of a sonnet.
I wrote this piece on the naughty origins of some band names so they don't appear here.

Why Vocal Will Always Disdain My Work
These are just some tongue-in-cheek observations on how I think Vocal see me, as opposed to my friends and audience. Although I write the odd horror or dark story, it is never depressing, I shed that skin long ago.
