The Meaning of ED
What "ED" Does NOT Stand For ...
Nobody in the band is named Ed. So where did the band get the name ED?
Is it a reference to Ed Sullivan, the patron saint of '60's TV variety shows who broke the Beatles in the U.S. (afterall, we play a variety of music, much of it from the '60's, including the Beatles)? Does it relate to "-ed," the suffix that turns a verb into past tense (as most of our music is from the past)? Does it have something to do with E.D. (Erectile Dysfunction), which Bob Dole brought to the public's attention while plugging Viagra? The answer is "no" to all of the above.
Actually, ED is an acronym. The initials E and D do stand for something. But what? No one outside of the band knows for sure. The band members are sworn to secrecy and prefer that its origins remain cloaked in a shroud of mystery. (If they told you, they'd have to kill you.)
Many have guessed, hypothesized, conjectured, speculated, presumed, presupposed and theorized at its meaning. But alas, its meaning continues to confound. To date, no known carbon life form has correctly surmised its correct definition.
We recognize that this continues to baffle and pique the curiosity for ED fans everywhere. So, to simplify this task, we have narrowed down the choices by eliminating the following pairings of E and D from consideration. Now your challenge should somewhat less daunting. Have a guess and add to the vast realm of possibilities.
