Fun With Band Names - 08.31.98

Shame on me. The one year anniversary for the site roles around and I already start slacking off. Anyway, this following piece is an old humor piece I came up with for an April Fools Day issue of my college paper. It's a very simple premise really, and involves bands that I think should tour together (mainly for goofy name reasons, but there are other inclusions as well). If you come up with any that need added to the list, let me know and I might add your suggestion (and a link if you want one). And yes, these really are all bands (although many of them may have broken up).
