HOW TO FAKE BEING INTO JAZZ

Boner Party drops knowledge every once in a while. 
_____

1. Take the first name of your high school, and the last name of your favorite sitcom character. For example, “Pioneer Bundy” or “Abraham Seinfeld”. 
2. Get “really” into them.
3. Allude in conversation “I am really into _____”. 
4. Watch in amazement as everyone else is ALSO into them. 
5. Congratulations.

In college I took The Genealogy of Rock and Roll.  When discussing jazz and blues, the teacher told us, in passing, that to make your jazz musician name the formula was as folows; a physical affliction+the name a fruit+the last name of a dead president.  Blind Lemon Johnson for instance.  On the final for that class, there was an extra credit question asking what our jazz/blues name would be.  Mine was Syphilitic Kumquat Coolidge.  I totally got an A for that.

Also, I think my method of picking a jazz name is much better than the one in the original post.  La Sierra Kramer has no ring to it.
