Is it me, or is there SOMETHING REAL FISHY ABOUT THIS BAND’S NAME? What does it mean? Who are these people?

Update 1: My curiosity got the better of me, so I wrote the band this note:

Hi, this request is going to sound strange, but I’m wondering what your band name “Bastard the Obvious” (aka McDowell Crook)” means?

The reason I’m asking is this. My name is McDowell Crook. Fo real.

Should I be flattered or offended? Or am I confused? Why on earth do/did you have “McDowell Crook” as a band name?

I mean, it’s certainly a kickass name. Ahem. But I still wonder why.

I hope they answer my question, but when your Myspace page looks like mine does, there’s no guarantee you’ll ever be taken seriously.

Update 2: Aaaaaahahahahahah! I just received the following message in response:

I was just thinking of some names to use in lieu of my own name, and some friends and I were drinking one night and were tossing around a bunch of different names and somehow came up with McDowell Crook. It’s not meant to be offensive in any way, and it wasn’t chosen after any one particular person. It just happens to be a complete coincedence that your name is what got put together on the latenight by a group of drunkards.

Wow. I mean, how in the heck did they come up with that? Other than it being a supercool name, of course. Lots and lots of Pabst Blue Ribbon and an internet connection I suppose.

It’s official. My name can beat up your name.
