More band origins

Back a while, I listed some origins of band names. Voila...... part deux:

The Black Crowes-it was originally named Mr. Crowe's Garden, after a favorite children's book. They sang under that name until they signed with Def American Records in 1989. They renamed themselves at the suggestion of a producer.

David Bowie-born David Jones, he changed his name to avoid confusion with David (Davy) Jones of THE MONKEES.

Chicago-Their first album was released as "Chicago Transit Authority", but the city of Chicago sued them because Chicago Transit Authority is the name of Chicago's public transportation department so they shortened it.

Eurythmics-a method of music instruction from the 1890's that emphasizes physical response to the music.

Led Zeppelin-Jimmy Page was drinking with Who members Moon and Entwhistle, who were bitching about their band mates Daltrey and Townshend. They joked about the two of them starting a band with Jimmy, and one of them said "Yeah, that will go over like a lead balloon". When Jimmy formed his own band, he recalled this and thought "Lead Zeppelin" would be good, both from that conversation and the heavy/light contradiction similar to the band named IRON BUTTERFLY. They decided to drop the "a" so Americans wouldn't mispronounce it.

Weezer-Band member Rivers Cuomo had the nickname Weezer in school because of a breathing problem.

Radiohead-Named after a Talking Heads' song called "Radio Head."
