I feel your frustration, Bruce.
After two albums with the ultra-generic Soap Opera, they changed their name
to....The First Time.
Try googling either name. Their old moniker brought you the latest on things
like "Days Of Our Lives' and "The Young & The Restless" among other daytime
TV fare. The latter takes you to every conceivable porn variation imaginable
(and some unimaginable).
At least Soap Opera allowed for some clever play-on words....the new name
is, unfortunately, bland and forgettable. And, yes, I've voiced my
displeasure to the band over this many times. They just laugh and say "we
like it."
