The Shunned were a fictional band in my city during late seventies punk days. Posters use to appear for their shows that were to be at vague local locations (ex. - "at the Shoe Store"). Many locals believed them to be real for a while, and were intrigued. They even had fictional members (Dick Chocolate, Jet Yellow, Doomy Number).

and, p.s., i just looked up the imdb page on ron's brother clint, who starred in "cotton candy," and noticed that it fell in the middle of this consecutive streak of movies for clint:
"grand theft auto" (1977)"i never promised you a rose garden" (1977)"harper valley p.t.a." (1978)"cotton candy" (1978)"rock n roll high school" (1979)
i was initially impressed by #3 and #4 in that list, and wondered if he's the only actor in history who's had consecutive roles in movies named after the only major pop hit by a female country singer. (must remember to use that one in a trivia thread sometime.)
then i realized this was a full-on five-picture streak whose titles are a video game, two crossover country smashes, a fictional rock band, and a ramones classic.
in later years he has appeared in "an innocent man" (1989, unclear if billy joel is aware of this one), "ice cream man" (he had the title role in this 1995 pic, whose jonathan richman link may or may not have been coincidental), "that thing you do" (1996, fictional rock hit, yay) and, um, "beethoven's 5th" (2003).
i hereby declare clint howard most.awesome.actor.evah.

My favouritey band is of course one which I made up- with my cranium!!!!! In the naughty nineties!!!! The beat combo's nomenclature was Vigilante Shipbuilders, and they were as Seventies type might sat, a power trio supergroup: of Missy Elliot (Lead vocals, beats, production), Danny MacNamara from Embrace (Vocals, guitars, and friend of Paul Weller- very important in the 90's!!!!!!), and Danbert Nobacon (Vocals, Political Strategist) fromChumbawumba!!!!!!!
If they existed, they would have packed out stadiums!!!!!!
