From a play list idea given to me by Stephen Kinzer, aka former Acik Radyo programmer Blues Baba, here is a playlist of ill-researched bands that have taken their names from people or events in history. After I made the show, I immediately thoughts of other, better groups I could have played, but I least I didn't stoop to U2.
