Led Tarpaulin

A generic term for a rock & roll tribute band that uses a semi-clever name to evoke the famous artist or band it covers, as, for example, the term itself evokes Led Zeppelin (covers, tarpaulin, get it?) See, e.g., By Jovi, Petty Cash, Proxy Music.

Saturday night we went to The Cave and saw that Led Tarpaulin outfit "Springsboomer" -- man, those guys can really play Bruce's stuff from the 70s and 80s!

Do a Churchill

To persevere relentlessly and never quit. From Winston Churchill's famous speech at Harrow School in the darkest days of World War II, in which he said: "Never, never, never, never--in nothing, great or small, large or petty--never give in."

Hon, I know you've missed qualifying for the Boston Marathon four times, but you're only four minutes away. Time to do a Churchill, sign up for Los Angeles next winter, and get your ten miles in today.
