About the name StuPidwish
Henry named the band. And yes, it is the best name of a band in the history of bands with names. It goes like this - someone who runs onto a busy highway blindfolded has a deathwish. One can only infer from this behavior that the person doing it wishes to be dead, since that will almost surely be the result. When we decided to form a band, it was pretty clear to all of us that we would end up looking really stupid. After all, at the time Henry was the only one who could actually play his instrument. We had, you could say, a stupidwish. Henry invented the term before the band, but it was a perfect fit. Around that same time, for totally unrelated reasons, I would refer to everyone I came into contact with, "Stu." As in, "What up, Stu?" and "Later, Stu." The result of this bizarre behavior was that we began spelling our band's name with a capital P. 'Pidwish,' it seemed, was Stu's last name. Hence the name - StuPidwish.
