One time “57” and I were shooting the breeze and we somehow stumbled onto the conversation of ‘Bands that Have Literary References In Their Name’. I was just trying to remember these and then further trying to figure out what is a good way to utilize this list and then it hit me. This would be a fantastic crossword. But I need more names. Here’s what I got so far…
The Boo Radley’s(To Kill A Mockingbird)
Shakespeare’s Sister(Obvs)
Veruca Salt(Willy Wonka)
Uriah Heep(From Dickens, David Copperfield)
Baskervilles(Sherlock Holmes)
Moby(Melville)
Elysian Fields(Tennyson)
The Divine Comedy(Dante Alighieri)
Toto(Wizard of Oz)
So I need about like oh 54 more names…. This could take some work. If I finish this, I will post the completed crossword.
The Magnetic Fields (Breton)
I’m pretty sure there’s a band called “Kilgore Trout,” which is a Vonnegut reference.
I thought I was going to have a ton more but I don’t.
Billy Pilgrim (Vonnegut’s “Slaughter-House Five”)
The Doors (Aldous Huxley’s “The Doors of Perception”)
ZZ-Top (Fyodor Dostoevsky’s “The Brothers ZZ-Top”)
Lisa Loeb and Nine Stories (Salinger)
I feel smart!
thank you guys! all of you are smart. at this rate, the crossword will be done in…. hmm… maybe three weeks.
