      just

      Musically,

      Crudeness
     
     
      seems
      to

      Why
      the

      Jimmy
     
     
      George?
      Well,
      they
      explained
     
     
      that
      they
      named
      their
      band

      a
      man

      coffees
      in
      a
      coffee
      shop.
     
     
      That
      was
      the
      deep
      meaning
      of
     
     
      the
      name,
      which
      consequently
     
     
      defines
      their
      style.
