As long as we're talking about Doctor Castrato,

You guys remember when we were called "Doctor Castrato and the Measles"? (Actually, I think for our original show we called ourselves "Doctor Castrato and the Electric Measles".) I recall that we thought this name was too long and unwieldy. Why the hell did we decide on "Doctor Castrato" rather than "The Measles"? The latter would have been a totally sweet name.

Yeah, and I could wear your T-shirt to work and not end up in HR for a "talk."

Funny you should bring this up, Dale. I was at a wedding this weekend and saw several adults (meaning, people my mom's age, who actually happened to be friends of my mom) who I had not seen in many years, and one of them asked me, "Are you still in that Measles band?" And I had to think for a second, and then explain, no, we were only together in college. But I found it interesting that the last time this guy saw me was in the short window of time when we were called Dr Castrato and the Measles. And he remembered that.
