I forgot about this question, but now that it pops up again, just yesterday, I was reading that Soundgarden was named after their favorite sculpture which made me think, if I had a band, maybe I’d name it after my favorite sculpture, Spoonbridge and Cherry.
Also @Noel_S_Leitmotiv – I remember Pansy Division, I recall they opened for Green Day on their first huge stadium tour. Kind of struck me as weird that they felt they needed to so aggressively self-identify, because a) punk fans are generally quite socially liberal and generally don’t take issue with others’ sexuality, and b) we already HAD a mostly gay punk band….⅔ of Husker Du were gay and no one gave a shit.
