A Great Band Name
by Ande Rasmussen

Sometimes a great band name can get a band much more media
attention than if the musicians went by their own names or
some lame name.
Not many people have heard of Mark Stuart, but many more have
heard of the Bastard Sons of Johnny Cash (BSOJC).
Johnny Cash’s own advisors told him that BSOJC infringed on his
trademark and Mr Cash should force BSOJC to change their names.
Johnny checked them out, he liked the name and liked them so he
gave the BSOJC permission to use it.
BSOJC have gotten write-ups in many newspapers and magazines
including Rolling Stone, Washington Post and New York Post
because their bands name and their talent. I believe there
are many equally talented songwriters and musicians that haven't
received near the attention of BSOJC. Johnny Cash's son helped
BSOJC produce their first album.
Carefully and intelligently choose your band's name and your
band's CD titles
