A Diversion
To change the subject, I've taken up the electric bass. Some guys my age buy sports cars, motorcycles, or sailboats. Here's my far-less-dangerous new toy, a Fender Squier Jazz Bass.

"We're gettin' the band back together!"
"We're on a mission from God."
I'm in.
Seriously, I play guitar and woodwinds. I know Jake Hornberger rocks out on the keyboards. We could have a monster freedom band! Must put it on the agenda at the next FFF or FEE conference.
I've got a name: the Rockingham Whigs. :-)
Repertoir:
We Won't Get Fooled Again
Monster
Taxman
Any more?
Anarchy in the UK -- Sex Pistols
2 + 2 = ? -- Bob Seger
I Can't Drive 55 -- Sammy Hagar
Another Brick in the Wall, pt. 2 -- Pink Floyd
Us and Them -- Pink Floyd
What's Goin' On -- Marvin Gaye
Favorite Son -- CCR
These songs are all fairly simple and are great ones for someone just starting out to try. I could go on for hours. :)
Rockingham Whigs? OK. A couple I've brainstormed recently:
Woodda Coodda Shoodda
Roy Hobbs and The Naturals
Good Intentions
PCT (Petrified Cat Turds)
When brainstorming, there are no bad ideas. Well ... that may debatable.
Unintended Consequences
Spontaneous Order
Ben, I don't know those! Bring me the CDs.
War Pigs .... mmm hmm!
I'm guessing Ben is related to Sheldon.
Ben has great musical taste, if I may say so.
Sabbath is like Guitar 101. If you can play Sabbath's greatest hits, you know 95% of rock guitar.
Sheldon, I like the band names, but if I can make a suggestion, polysyllaby should probably be kept to a minimum. You don't want to exclude the more literacy-challenged in society.
;-)
James, you're probably right. I don't know that Ben guy. The last name is one of the bizarre coincidences. ;)
Police and Thieves
Police and thieves in the streets
Oh yeah!
Scaring the nation with their guns and ammunition
Police and thieves in the street
Oh yeah!
Fighting the nation with their guns and ammunition
From genesis to revelation
The next generation will be hear me
From genesis to revelation
The next generation will be hear me
And all the crowd comes in day by day
No one stop it in anyway
And all the peacemaker turn war officer
Hear what I say

"Police and Thieves"
But you repeat yourself.
About this alleged relationship between Ben and Sheldon, I demand an investigation. :)
Sheldon, I think it is a strong testament to music that this thread has generated the most comments on your blog of late.
Or a strong testament against my alleged political wisdom. :)
What about Body Count's "Cop Killer"?
