Changeling

I always liked the song "The Changeling" by the Doors during the phase when I was dangerously obsessed with Jim Morrison.

Lately, I've grown tired of using a solo name, particularly my own.
Every time I hear my name in full it takes me back to those days in highschool when my physical education teacher would always refer to me by my full name. She did that because I was in trouble a lot with her.

Once we were doing javelin which was a sport I was pretty good at. We were being tested and looked like I was going to score an A-. Anyway, after my final throw I walked across the terrace to collect my javelin when another student threw hers. It missed thank the ancestors but I turned and yelled something rather crude. My physical education teacher like always yelled out "Kate Bradley come here". She said I would now fail javelin and forced me to apologise to the girl. I was sorry of course and she said it was her fault but I ended up failing anyway.

So, lately I'm thinking it's time to retire my name and change. I've got two band name ideas.
I've got friends saying yes to one and no to the other and some other friends saying what are you doing changing your name.

I've always been a mixed bag but I just don't want to use a solo name anymore. I play with my band you know. I always have to explain things to people. For example, I'm solo but I have a band but I have my name and then a band name after that.....hmmmm.... come on. That's not catchy or easy to remember.

So, I have two names at the moment.
One my mum has says she likes which of course is "The Goodbye Horses" and the other she says she absolutely loathes and that it sounds like drugs. I feel a little like a teenager because I'm liking the one my mum doesn't particularly like because now I'm thinking that's cool!
