The purpose of this blog, and that is something that sets my blogging apart from the rest of this frivolous information - purpose, is to point out the stupidity of some of our all-time favorite musicians. It seems as much as we love these self-indulgent musical geniuses; stardom, money and fame in general sets in and creates a mindset that fools them into thinking they can break all the rules. Now let's be clear, I'm not talking about breaking rules rock stars are supposed to break (like hotel room etiquette), I mean basic laws of the planet. Like not hanging a douche-bag-esque moniker on you offspring. Still not follow? Ok, consider the following . . . .
Below I've compiled a list of some of the best (worst) names ever bestowed by a musician. I'll report, you decide:

Brian Littrell (of supergroup Backstreet Boys) - named his boy Baylee Thomas Wylee Littrell - I'm pretty sure the only other Wylee I've ever heard of is a coyote. I predict the kid to be a chronic failure.
Eryka Badu (your real name is Erica!) - has a kid named Seven Sirus Benjamin - George Castanza eat your heart out. aka the S.S. Benjamin.

And the king of namos muy estupido - Mick Jagger. His kids (at least the ones claimed) : Georgia May Ayeesha Jagger (can these be rearranged into a phrase? perhaps a code to a Stones tune), Karis Hunt (surname of mother - warning to kid, be careful using only the first initial - K.Hunt), and Jade Sheena Jezebel Jagger - how much more racy can a name be? Hmmm, I think I'll name my daughter after the most notorious whore in all of history. Even Keith would have known better. Riiiight, man. (Check that - Keith Richards - son Dupree)
Rock steady fellas.

By the way, I forgot to give credit to DJ for prompting me to go Magnum P.I. on rock star names. You got the gears turning bro.
ReplyDeleteThe Shania pic has rendered me speechless. OK, I'm fine now. My favorite rock kid names are Dweezil and Moon Unit Zappa, but that's just me.
ReplyDeletePS - Loved the Wyle E. Coyote reference.
Hey - I'm an inspirational figure, what can I say? Wikipedia is a wonderful thing. Love the "cunt punt" link. I must put it in my personal collection...
ReplyDeleteI like Waylon Jennings' kids' name - Shooter. Except that probably id is middle name. First name - Tequila.
ReplyDeleteThe post would have been longer but I got tripped up by the Shania pic as well.
ReplyDeleteShania's back out on the market again, huh? Wonder if she'd want to make another goofy-named kid?
