Their name is unusual for a group, there was one group in the 80's with the name "The the"
Subject: Re: Fantastic word game
Written By: nally on 12/03/09 at 1:07 am
The group with that name could easily be construed as lacking a name, since group names that officially begin with "The" have that word ignored for alphabetizing purposes. But then they'd only be left with "the", which could also get truncated. What were they thinking?? I guess they thought it might attract attention or something like that.
