perfect example of truly selling out:
There was this rockin' high school band from Shawnee Mission West (or is it East) High School. They played some awesome rock songs, had some great tunes. They were called Thulium, an inventive name. One the table of elements, its number....69. This band went from having an awesome creative name to going by.........
ANYTHING BUT JOEY
Do they know a kid named joey? NO. So, why did they change their name? Because they were told to so they could sell themselves better, so their name would be like "Dave Mathews Band," All American Rejects, Bowling for Soup. Its the standard now to have a 3 word name that can be cutely abbreviated, to make the fans feel "closer" to the group (ex: "Do you listen to Dave?") Anything But Joey is a GREAT! (according to the execs.) name because it can be ABJ, or just plain "Joey."
In the dictionary next to the word Sell outs.. there should be a picture of "Joey"
