I just realized that I cannot become famous……my name (for those who know it….others…..SHAME ON YOU FOR NOT READING MY PROFILE!!!!) is not a famous sounding name. J Mascis: Fame…..but my name…..ptptptpttltptpttltlttptttt (raspberry)
I wear my sunglasses at night!
Hey RJ,
Just hang in there. You could always adopt a stage name (lest we forget, J started out as a Joseph). I myself alter my name slightly when I play out; it sure beats the hyphenated German-Italian last name I was born with.
But I don’t think you should place that much importance on it. Lots of famous musicians have "average" names, I think. Eric Clapton? Michael Jackson? Will Smith? Jill Scott? Scott Ian?
You’ll be fine!

Eric Shupe… (look, I just blew the secret. [img]images/smiles/icon_razz.gif[/img] )
I think it has potential… You can always work with it a little though, maybe a middle initial… Could work… [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]
Take my name for instance… Matt Burns… pretty boring…
Add my first initial, and you get… F. Matthew Burns. Which I feel is much more prestigious. [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]
Oh yeah, and you got to pause for a second after the ‘F’ when pronouncing my name… That works ever better.. [img]images/smiles/icon_razz.gif[/img] [img]images/smiles/icon_rolleyes.gif[/img]

i just thought your name was randy jane. that’s a plain sounding name, and if thats the name of your band, what does it matter if YOUR name is boring?
and f. matt burns…i would just assume that the ‘f’ stands for FUCK. fuck matt burns?
Hey RandyJane,
Just checked out the randyjanewebsite, I enjoyed it a lot, nice pictures too!
Eric Shupe is a good name (shuperman..remember ) [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img] and who said "what’s in a name".
RJ (and before I read your profile last week I spent a lot of time wondering about the gender of THAT name!), have you forgotten about the guitarist ERIC JOHNSON? how much mor genaric can you get?
Hey ES/RJ,
Are you looking for ideas on a stage name? Iggy Pop is actually James Osterburg [img]images/smiles/icon_eek.gif[/img]
Allison [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]
Isn’t J actually Donald Joseph Mascis? Thought that I had read that somewhere.
It`s either Donald Joseph or Joseph Donald,I remember reading that somewhere`s too.
RJ-E Shupe might work,RJ Shupe maybe?or you could take rockabilly eccentric Hasil Adkins name-The Tennessee Wildman [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img] [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]
