 Then again some of the questions were catered for me.
 
 Oh, and nothing is a "Duran" but "Duran Duran" was a character in Barbarella.

Yeah, I have a great book called "Rock Names" by Adam Dolgins which explains where many bands got their names.  Do you know where "The Beautiful South" came from?  The book is from the 90's but does cover some of the more obscure bands from that period.

yes, great great, cause Melville died before the turn of the century, not likely to be a grandfather of someone born in the 60s.    
    his middle name is Melville too. and his first name is Richard....Dick. go figure.

This guy's a Field Marshal Nerd.

It is great, covers a lot of bands, especially the 60's classics.  Moby Grape was named after the joke, The Beautiful South as an ironic comment on South London, and Robert Zimmerman changed his name in honor of an uncle Dillion and chose something that looked better.  Love this book.  Can bring it to the 22nd thing.
