The Junior Executives
That was the name of the band my college dorm-mate Joe Fraher was in. The band was called something else when he was in high school and penned such hits (in my own personal hit parade) as “Paralysis Pat” and “Ambulance Driver.”
They reformed briefly in college and renamed themselves “The Junior Executives,” possibly in order to wear 60′s suits when they played. The lead singer was an ROTC dude. Nice guy and really excited about the military, going on manuevers, military career, etc. which I couldn’t understand, having been in the Coast Guard reserve at the time and hating military life.
I found out what he’s up to now from reading my Santa Clara Alumni magazine:
“84 Col. Bart Howard relinquished command of the 1st Brigade, 1st Infantry Division (Big Red One) at Fort Riley, Kan., and was named chief of staff of Combined Forces in Kabul, Afghanistan.”
Come to think of it, they opened their shows with a song called “Control Force.” It’s all making sense now.
That Ain’t Punk Rock
