| Band "Anthrax" might change its name |
| 2001-10-11 |
THE thrash-metal band Anthrax might change its name. "It's as though it's 1937 and I'm a bandleader named Freddie Hitler," lead singer Scott Ian, 37, told the Washington Post. "Maybe we should change the name now. A friend suggested Basket of Puppies." Ian, who came up with the name 20 years ago in high school biology class, said, "People keep coming up to me and saying, 'Hey, wouldn't it be funny if you got anthrax?' I'm like, 'Oh, that would be hilarious.' " He's stocked up on Cipro, the antidote for the germ. Ian told columnist Lloyd Grove: "I will not die an ironic death." |
