 At times we get puzzled looks from folks when we reveal the band's name...so on occasion we'll feel the need to explain.  To quote from William Shakespeare's 'Hamlet', Act 5, Scene 1...

"Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him, Horatio: a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy: he hath borne me on his back a thousand times; and now, how abhorred in my imagination it is! my gorge rims at it. Here hung those lips that I have kissed I know not how oft. Where be your gibes now? your gambols? your songs? your flashes of merriment,that were wont to set the table on a roar? Not one now, to mock your own grinning? quite chap-fallen?  Now get you to my lady's chamber, and tell her, let her paint an inch thick, to this favour she must come; make her laugh at that." 

Translation?...Yorick, the king's jester at one time, used to be hilarious!...but he's been dead for a while and nobody's laughing now.  So yuk it up while you can!
