Tweet

As part of a reference to his Obituary,I was reading an article in the newspaper today about how various popular Music groups came up with their Names..Here's a wikipedia link to a bunch of them.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_band_name_etymologies Britpop group "The Jam" came about because one of the Member's sisters noticed there was already a Group called "Bread" but none called Jam....Sorted! so.. Who was Leonard Skinner,and what has he to do with this subject? If You didn't already know,He was the Gym teacher for the Guys who decided to immortalise him as their band Name..Lynrd Skynrd! http://jacksonville.com/news/metro/2010-09-24/story/no-surprise-lynyrd-skynyrd-song-played-his-funeral Did you know how this group's name came about? Which would be your favourite group,and is there a story behind their name?
