The name comes from a D'Addario promo T-shirt issued about 18 years ago. It was pulled off the market almost immediately. J.R.R. Tolkien's estate probably sued them over it, which is why I misspell it. Some folks just have no sense of hee-haw :rolleyes:

My favourite satirist, Terry Pratchett, entitled one of his books 'Soul Music'. The title got taken rather literally by some of the characters, while they were playing "music with rocks in it" .....uhmm, maybe you had to be there.

This question got some interesting replies a couple years ago... click here
