A Rock Star By Any Other Name

by oceanRain
As you can well imagine, when my parents, Mr and Mrs Rain, named me Ocean I was none too happy. The kids at school would point and laugh at me. But after years and years of therapy and practicing my communication skills here on DiS, I believe there is hope. Hope that one day soon I may be able to speak to other human beings face to face.

I'm living the dream, baby!

Favorite Rock Star Names They Just Made Up!!

Mine:
Courtney Taylor-Taylor. Like the liberated women of America who just can't drop their maiden name, the Dandy Warhols singer beats them at their own game!
John Cougar Mellencamp. Which should he pick? The goofy rawk name or the goofy country boy name? Ee-nee-me-nee-mynie-moe....
Siouxsie Sioux. Susan must have said to herself, "I'd bet I'd be the only punk chick in South Dakota. I wonder where South Dakota is exactly..."

Dean Ween
Bonnie Prince Billy
Eye

King Buzzo
Les Claypool (assuming that isn't his real name)

It never clicked that Ziggy Stardust was partly based on Iggy Pop until I saw the South Bank Show the other night, even though

Ziggy - Z = iggy

I am so very slow. Oh

Iggy Pop!

I'm still impressed that the none-more-RAWK band that is Winnebago Deal have a singer with the rather posh name of Ben Cranmer-Perrier.

Aaron Funk of Venetian Snares.

Synyster Gates.
Baby Spice.

Re: A Rock Star By Any Other Name

Darby Crash is by far the best.

Courtney Love is Not her birth name, but she had hippie parents and i think love was a name used for her as a child.
