Naming of The Band
Kevi had rented the 1960s film, A Thousand Clowns, and it occurred to him that would be the perfect name for a band.
"When I first moved out here, everybody was like, 'I'm a producer. I'll put you in my movie.' Or 'I'm a director, I'm an executive, I control the whole industry.' All these people were actually assistants or whatever. They all had fancy business cards. I was so inundated with these cards that I had one made that said 'Professional Shepherd.' I would tell people,' I have my own flock, but I freelance.' Don't get me wrong, though. I love it out here. But it really is the city of 1000 Clowns."

“What passes for identity in America is a series of myths about one’s heroic ancestors. It’s astounding to me, for example, that so many people really seem to believe that the country was founded by a band of heroes who wanted to be free. That happens not to be true. What happened was that some people left Europe because they couldn’t stay there any longer and had to go someplace else to make it. They were hungry, they were poor, they were convicts.”
—James Baldwin (1924–1987)
