The following is an article from the campus newspaper here, The Sheaf (get it? It's a homonym . . . I hate you people). Reminds me a bit of the 432 back when it was fun to read in class: not polished, but entertaining. Mind you, this paper is paid for by everybody, not just wacky Science students, so they are much less likely to print the word "fuck". Anyway, thanks to Adam for pointing it out.
Creed Changes Their Name to Pearl Jam
The gross-looking singer of Creed announced to reporters Sunday that the band had officially changed their name to Pearl Jam. “We’ve been in court for months trying to get rights to the name,” he said. “We discovered that there is actually another band somewhere with the same name, oddly enough.” The gross-looking singer of Creed spoke of the relief when the court battle was over and they finally claimed the rights to the name. “I was starting to get worried, thinking we’d have to change our name to Pearl Jam-X.” In related news, the gross singer of Creed is in court changing his name to Eddie Vedder, “I like the sound of it, I like how it rhymes with ‘better’. Vedder is better, teehee teehee.” He has a single due out next Friday - it’s a cover of Last Kiss.
I think the mention of Last Kiss begs for a discussion of the 'Dead Girlfriend Song' as a rock sub-genre.
