TELL US HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT THIS NITE AND DAY: In ranking the awesomeness of all stage names in pop/rock music history, are we agreed that Al B. Sure! is at the bottom and The Edge nears the top?
[Prompted by a random tweet in my feed last night mentioning the former. Wikipedia informs me that the former Albert Brown's son is now an aspiring artist under the moniker Lil B Sure!.]
added: It occurs to me that the proper unit of measurement for the appropriateness of a stage name is the Ringo, wherein 1.0 Ringos represents a stage name as good as the former Richard Starkey. Ludacris, a/k/a Chris Bridges, rates 0.8 Ringos; Black Francis is 0.6 Ringos, and Frank Black 0.4 Ringos.
