Wait, what was the original? I forget.
Oh yeah, it was "Mookie Blaylock."
Seriously, WTF? What
terrible Seattleites! I mean I know Ed wasn't a native, but still! Fuck that noise! What a god awful band name!
That just pisses me off to think about.
"Pearl Jam" is actually a pretty godforsaken terrible name too. Especially when you know it's origin story. Like, it becomes even dumber when you know what it means. But it's better than the alternative.
"Nirvana." Now that was an
inspired band name. Fuck the British guys. OUR Nirvana. The name and the font. It's as immediately recognizable as the classic "The Beatles" logo that informed its typeface. Pure, elemental, slightly abstract conceptually, and, as always, a total contradiction to what the music actually sounded like.
