'''Dennis''' is a male [[given name|first name]] derived from the [[Greco-Roman]] name [[Dionysius]] meaning "servant of [[Dionysus]]", the [[Thracian]] god of [[wine]], which is ultimately derived from the Greek Dios (Διος, "of [[Zeus]]") combined with [[Nysa|Nysos or Nysa]] (Νυσα), where the young god was raised. |

Alternative forms and spellings of the name include [[Denis (disambiguation)|Denis]], Denys, Deon, Deonne, Deonte, and Dion, Dionice. [[Diminutive]] forms include Den and Denny. The name Sydenie (alternate spellings: Sydney or Sidney) derives from a village in Normandy called Saint-Denis, and results in the diminutive forms Syd and Sid. A medieval diminutive was Dye, from which the names Dyson and Tyson are derived. |

Apparently Ralph Burns Kellogg pursued a career under the name of ''Ethan James''. Together with Lisa Mitchell(-Silverman), he formed a project ''Jane Bond and the Undercovermen'' which brought out a record under the title of ''Politically Correct''. This happened in the early 80s, and it is the first time I heard that now infamous term mentioned. I found claims on Google that the record was quite fashionable among students and payed often on campus radio in its days. Given that three of the women who later formed the ''Bangles'' took part, this may be likely. |

I know heavy metal didn't start in the mid 1980's, that's plain retarded. That would disregard bands like Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin. I didn't really know if proto-metal was real thing or not, since it redirects to the heavy metal page. And it was more towards the late-1960's when heavy metal really started.

Project of former member Kellogg
Apparently Ralph Burns Kellogg pursued a career under the name of Ethan James. Together with Lisa Mitchell(-Silverman), he formed a project Jane Bond and the Undercovermen which brought out a record under the title of Politically Correct. This happened in the early 80s, and it is the first time I heard that now infamous term mentioned. I found claims on Google that the record was quite fashionable among students and payed often on campus radio in its days. Given that three of the women who later formed the Bangles took part, this may be likely.
My question now: does anybody know the lyrics of said record? Does it refer to political correctness as we know it, directly or per irony? -- Zz 16:02, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
