A co-worker overheard me singing a dead moon song and asked what it was. I tried to explain dead moon. She laughed at me. I like this quote from wikipedia, it tells the story perfectly:The band(The Weeds----pre-dead moon) was promised an opening slot on a Yardbirds bill at the Fillmore in San Francisco, but on their arrival found that the venue hadn't heard of them.
Angry at management and fearing the military draft, the band decided to head up to Canada, but ran out of gas in Portland, Oregon. There, they started playing at a club called the Folk Singer, where Toody Conner worked. Cole and Toody soon fell in love and were married in 1967, though The Weeds' manager insisted they keep the marriage secret.

Toody and Fred formed Dead Moon.

Thats rock and roll.
