Tommy Tenpence and the Tinkers
(Deservedly) bullied boy turned into angry young man. Angry young man predictably, turned to music and let out his woes through song. Sadly, his poor musical education and mental immaturity meant that those songs were crap. Slightly less angry young man's education started to improve thanks to radio and internet, and after moving to Manchester, joined a band as guitarist.
Desire to moan at the world through song niggled away at his ageing spirit and eventually pushed him back into writing. Fortunately he was now equipped with a far better musical lexicon (although not it seems, vocabulary - I got 'lexicon' from my computer's thesaurus). Unfortunately, his twenties had also seen his moan gland swell and he had many new things to drain from it, such as general public ignorance, celebrity and 21st century malaise.
People kept saying they wanted to hear more of his songs, and over time, he started to think that maybe they weren't just being nice. Finally, when none other than his band-mates parents also told him they wanted to hear more of his songs, he decided to give it a go - and Tommy Tenpence was born.
