In reply to the discussion: What is the average age group of posters on this forum? [View all]DFW
(54,349 posts)50. It was called "A Clockwork Orange"
Apparently a few other bands using the name were active at the time, but we were using it in 1967, way before the film came out. If only we had stuck around, right?
But things happen at that age. The drummer graduated high school and went off to RISD (Rhode Island School of Design). The first rhythm guitarist went back to Canada (his dad was their Ambassador to the USA), and the second went off into his dad's business, whatever that was. The lead guitarist (and lead singer) got into LSD and went off to seek his fortune in San Francisco (I heard he's now back in the DC area and into CW, of all things). I (bass and keyboards) went off to live in Spain, so that was pretty much the end of The Clockwork Orange, Washington D.C. version.

OK. Now I understand. Young enough to care but not old enough to know history.
