Meanwhile in Ft. Collins Colorado..................Our beloved Al's home.

It seems retired jock John Elway isn't happy some local punks are using his last name..... ;)

It gets the band some nice publicity, obviously not what he intended. I just listened to a couple of cuts on their MySpace page, never would have heard of them otherwise. Their music isn't bad at all, though if that's what's considered punk today, I must have missed the announcement.

You're keeping up nicely, Mark!

Today's paper had a short article about this.  The band is saying "Hey, if a band named the Dead Kennedys could have nits, what's such a big deal about the Elways"?

Publicity is its own reward in such cases.

He probably should have taken the high road and offered himself to the band in some kind of publicity stunt instead of sounding like a dork in the papers.

You're not kidding. More like 90's college rock.

I think I'll name my next band Favre.

You can call it quits and then have a reunion tour every year.

Just be careful about texting pics.

Too direct. Be subtle. Favre and the Vienna Sausage Choir.

Hmmm...if we want a strong visual element, how about " Favre and the Vienna Sausage Review"?

Excellent!!

If the band were somewhere between Chicago and Green Bay it could have two lawsuits to draw attention to itself.
