Pearl Jam – Mookie Blaylock
So, you might be wondering why the hell Pearl Jam was originally named after a basketball player.
Well, the band had been offered a spot in an Alice in Chains tour, and they needed to come up with a name on the spot. One of the band members had gotten a Mookie Blaylock trading card recently, so they just put the name down to quickly land the gig, with no intention of keeping the name forever.
And they are, and always shall be The Village Idiots.
AC/DC = Anti Christ Devils Child
Have fun.
