Oh snap, I remember The Neeblers. They had that track Neeble Neeble back in the 70's. The one that started the riot in Chicago.

Everyone said that their New Wave phase in the 80's was too commercial, but I thought it yielded some good material. You can't deny that Neeble my Neeb was classic.

And then there was their ill-fated Gangsta Rap experiment. While Neeble This, Beeyotch had its share of hits, I still think it damaged their reputation, and soured the tastes of many true fans.

I've been hearing rumblings about a reunion tour. I'm curious to see how they'll sound, since their flautist died in that tragic zoo accident in '97.

All that's well and good, but what really destroyed their career was that Neeble lip sync scandal of '91.

Well, it didn't destroy the legacy of the Neebles, as much as it hurt the solo career of guitarist Neeb Neebler. Most put the blame for the whole thing on the record company, anyhow. It's probably just the most highly publicized incident.

Oh yes, this is a good example of post-fame. The guy in the boy scout uniform is the dog's handler, and also happens to be the former hammer dulcimer player for the band. In his retirement, he's raised a breed of dog that excels at pulling bricks. He hopes that one day, they will revolutionize modern architecture.

I heard rumors that the dog IS short-time ex-Neeble drummer Tim McMunnblatter; His identity crisis during the band's formative years led to decades of plastic surgery addiction. Much like a certain 'Jackson' fellow, McMunnblatter is also said to be allergic to the sun.

Well, the sun allergy is true, but the dog rumor is RIDICULOUS. He was a cat person, anyhow, as he owned over 60, at one point.
