      of
      UPEI
      students.
      We
      caught
      up
      to
     
     
      the
      band
      members,
      finally,
      for
      an
      interview

      at
      their
     
     
      love
      hut
      in
      Bermuda.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      The
      band
      consists
      of
      three,
      sometimes
      more,
      males,-two
      of
     
     
      which
      are
      referred
      to
      as
      ‘hippies’.
      The
      boys
      in
      the
      band
      are
     
     
      Shawn
      Petrie,
      Sean
      Nason,
      and
      JimO
      "Leary.
      Some
      of
      you
      may
     
     
      already
      be
      appreciating
      the
      new
      member,
      but
      for
      those
      who
      have
     
     
      not
      frequented
      the
      Lounge
      yet
      this
      fall
      semester,
      you
      may
     
     
      remember
      Steve
      Leggebeater
      as
      the
      third
      ‘String’.
      Steve
      has
     
     
      left
      this
      Island
      for
      a
      much
      better
      place
      ofhappiness.
      That’s
      right
     
     
      folks,
      Jim
      killed
      off
      Steve
      but
      was
      acquitted
      because
      of
      his
     
     
      Newfoundland
      heritage.
      Jim
      then
      auditionned
      to
      be
      the
      third
     
    
   
   
    
     
      String
      and
      was
      accepted
      purely
      on
      the
      amount
      of
      alcohol
     
     
      consumed.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      The
      band
      has
      a
      wide
      assortment
      of
      songs
      all
      written
      and
     
     
      produced
      by
      other
      people.
      Although
      the
      band
      is
      writing,
      only
      one
     
     
      song,
      The
      Trip,
      has
      been
      perfected
      and
      is
      quite
      a
      favourite.
      The
     
     
      guys
      have
      been
      writing
      together
      since,
      oh,
      yesterday,
      but
      have
     
     
      been
      playing,
      I
      mean
      writing
      by
      themselves
      since
      they
      have
     
     
      been
      physically
      old
      enough.
      Their
      songs
      are
      all
      based
      on
      other
     
     
      people’s
      experience
      and
      Donahue,
      as
      they
      have
      no
      experiences
     
     
      of
      their
      own
      to
      draw
      upon.
      Other
      music
      Sung
      by
      the
      boys
      are
      The
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Tragically
      Hip,
      Pink
      Floyd,
      Black
      Sabbath,
      Brams,
      and
      much
     
     
      more.
     
    
   
   
    
     
       
     
    
   
   
    
     
      The
      boys
      are
      only
      in
      this
      for
      the
      fun
      of
      it,
      they
      do
      not
      plan
      On
     
     
      releasing
      any
      singles,
      or
      becoming
      professional.
      They
      only
      Play
     
     
      at
      the
      Barn
      to
      get
      the
      spotlight
      and
      attract
      the
      beautiful
      womey
     
     
      who
      frequent
      the
      Panther
      Lounge.
      Don’t
      be
      worried
      8TOupies,
     
     
      as
      the
      men
      do
      practice
      safe
      sex
      because
      abstinence
      is
      THE
      Only
     
     
      way
      to
      go.
