Grandaddy, We Love You

Fame…What’s your name? What’s your name? What’s your name? What’s your name? What’s your name?

NME this week has a snippet about David’s recent backstage meeting with Grandaddy: “Grandaddy got the shock of their lives when none other than David Bowie, sauntered into their dressing room post-gig. The bearded ones were even further taken aback to find out that Bowie knew each and every one of them by their first names…” No mean feat when I consider I’ve met them a couple of times now, and I still get ’em mixed up.

But, just in case there are any of you now worried that you wouldn’t be capable of similar recognition skills if you bumped into Grandaddy at your local skateboard park, just look at the picture above and match ’em up with this list: From left to right: Aaron, Tim, Jason, Jim and Kevin.

You can even print out this page just in case aforementioned improbable meeting takes place. If you want to impress the band further by listing each member’s contribution to Grandaddy, simply click on the image above. This has been another free service from BowieNet in our ‘Social Skills’ programme aimed at the likes of Rednik!
