Re: REAL NAMES OF ARTISTS, changing them to artist names

John Lydon - Johhny Rotten

John Beverley - Sid Vicious

John Graham Mellor - Joe Strummer


Whats wrong with the name John???   <img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_lol.gif" border=0 alt="Laughing">


The whole Punk genre was awash with people using other names....the reason? It made it harder for the DHSS to stop their giro(allegedely)!!!  Giro - free money from UK Govt. <img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_wink.gif" border=0 alt="Wink">



Guys like Rat Scabies, Dave Vanian, Captain Sensible, Jet Black. Women like Soo Cat Woman, Poly Styrene, Arri Up, Pearl Harbour, Siouxsie Sioux, Bekki Bondage.


Some lovely names in there, Poly Styrene deserves special credit though!  <img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_lol.gif" border=0 alt="Laughing">



Craig.

Blind acceptance is a sign, of stupid fools who stand in line.  John Lydon.
