MJ & the Bear Mystery Solved!

Not that there was a “mystery,” per se, but no sooner had I posted the last entry than Megan Metzger walked into my office. I told her the news of Anvil Chorus becoming MJ & the Bear, and she identified the source of the new band’s name. Behold!

Megan took this picture of a bear, Dave Gaume and MJ with her camera phone, on the way to SXSW last year. Ha! No fun for you and your esoteric name no more, MJ & the Bear!

Ever the source of pop culture trivia, Megan also pointed out that there was a cop show involving a crime-solving monkey called BJ and the Bear.

Wow, I can’t believe that actually existed.
