Gnarls and Charles
Right now I'm listening to the brilliant Gnarls Barkley album. It reminds me of this article a few weeks ago where Cee-Lo denied that the name of their band is a reference to Sir Charles. Which is, well, crazy. As talented as the group is and as great as their music is, they probably won't be on TRL if they didn't share the name of the basketball player who dunked on Godzilla and the cornerstone of the best sports studio show on the planet.Or perhaps they're just savvy enough to deny the connection because of potential legal implications. It's all good, though, as even Charles Barkley admitted to actually liking their music.
Meanwhile, if I ever come around to forming a band that blends funk, soul, and hiphop, I'm totally going to call it Mojo Lastimosa.
No relation to the player, of course.
