Keep on rockin' me baby... This day's first post, eighteen hours into the day as it is, is light. I got to thinking yesterday, at my part-time job, about band names. In particular, the multi-part phrasal and sentence names such as Panic! (At the Disco) and Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza. I have always considered the ludicrous band name to be a contemporary phenomenon, with roots in 80s punk and proto-indie (Steel Pole Bathtub, Teenage Fan Club), but it hit me: Strawberry Alarm Clock. That band came up in the late sixties, and boasts the incandescent hit "Incense & Peppermints". So, maybe it has been like this for the length of the rock era. I still do not have to like it, though.

But, I still like "Incense & Peppermints".
