A NAME IS JUST A NAME
Everyone wants to know...
...where did you get the name? It all started many, many years ago when I was in college at Towson State University. Larry Hirsch and Bill Tavik, two of my band mates, thought that I looked like a Stumpy Joe. They started calling me by that nickname and I've been known by it ever since. The original Stumpy Joe comes from the movie This Is Spinal Tap. Marty: Your first drummer was uh.... Nigel: The peeper.... David: Joe stumpy Pepys...great great...uh...tall blond geek... with glasses uh... Nigel: Uh.. good drummer. David: Great look, good drummer. Nigel: Good, good drummer.... David: Fine drummer.... Marty: What happened to him? David: He died, he, he died in a bizarre gardening accident some years back. Nigel: It was really one of those things...it was...you know...the authorities said...you know...well best leave it unsolved, really...you know. Marty: And he was replaced by...uh.... David: Stumpy Joe - Eric Stumpy Joe Childs. Marty: What happened to Stumpy Joe? Derek: Well, uh, it's not a very pleasant story...but, uh, he died... uh...he choked on...the ac- the official explanation was he choked on vomit. David: He passed away. Nigel: It was actually, was actually someone else's vomit. It's not.... David: It's ugly. Nigel: You know. There's no real.... Derek: You know they can't prove whose vomit it was...they don't have the facilities at Scotland Yard.... David: You can't print, there's no way to print a spectra-photograph... Nigel: You can't really dust for vomit.
