kidsmoke Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Got to musing on this the other day with my daughter, and we were cracking each other up with our suggestions. I thought it might be fun to play it here.The idea is that you take the title of any Wilco song and then imagine it was the name of a business. What would that business be, or do?Some titles are obviousness itself: "Kamera" It might simply be a camera store or repair shop. Then again, it could be a stylish name for a film production company, or maybe a modelling agency. "California Stars"? Sounds like a West Coast talent booking agency."Jesus Etc." is a gift shop selling religious items of all faiths. A very inclusive sort of place. You get the idea. Name a song. What is the business? Help me figure these out! What in the holy hey is:Laminated CatCars Can't Escape (The DMV? An impound yard?)Summer Teeth Would "Forget the Flowers" be a candy shop? Or a jeweler's? "Red-Eyed and Blue" sounds like a rehab clinic that also treats depression. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kidsmoke Posted April 21, 2016 Author Share Posted April 21, 2016 These are going to be very helpful to the band one day, if they tire of playing music (Please don't.) Some fascinating fields into which they can branch off. "Misunderstood" is either a counseling center specializing in teens, or a conflict-resolution department of some diplomatic corps.
