Totally agree. I saw a Venkman at the welcome area last night and about died. Ditto for Spicoli. Rawk!

Cousin Julian is the only 80's pop star I know of in Second Life.

Those names are fine and dandy, but what about the last name of Suicide that is now in SL. How lovely that LL is promoting that...

From: ZsuZsanna Raven but what about the last name of Suicide that is now in SL. Is that right?  What an odd choice.

Probably for the gothic/punk contingent, a la The Suicide Girls. I wouldn't read too much into it.

This isn't really the 80's anymore, but I also noticed several references to goth-ish bands:
* Cranes
* Lycia
* Banshee (the only 80's reference, if it is one)
Oh, and I think I remember Eldritch being a name some time ago. EDIT: nevermind, it's spelled Eldrich, and it's still in there.

Division, Cure, and Cult would most likely be inspired by 80s music as well, but I couldn't be sure. I couldn't make a Division with Joy, Joi, or Roy  |
