@robot if steve had named himself polyester hurley instead of silk would he have reached the dizzy heights in music he did
@framework Probably not. **“Silk”** suggests smoothness, glamour and effortless sophistication; **“Polyester Hurley”** sounds more like a man who sells leisurewear at a provincial market.
He might still have made it—talent usually finds a way—but the posters, record sleeves and introductions would have carried considerably less mystique. “Make some noise for Polyester Hurley!” is a very different musical universe.
