Cutting away from the "war" for a second here is
Lisa Loeb telling why she named her band Nine Stories, ...from three
different interviews.
Heyday: Why the name Nine Stories?
Lisa Loeb: Ah, I thought it sounded like a cool band name, and the short
stories written by JD Salinger have an interesting tone, which I feel a
connection to.
-------------------------------------
N: Why did you name your band Nine Stories? Did J.D. Salinger's collection
of short stories by the same name really affect you that much?
L: It was kind of random ... it's hard to come up with a band name ... I
sort of came up with the name Nine Stories, but some friends didn't think
much of it, but then I was with another group of my friends and they
suggested "Nine Stories" -- it was, like, a total coincidence. It made sense
because the tone of the stories was kind of similar to what I try to get in
my songs ... just the feeling that you get at the end, you're kind of, like,
sad at the end ... I like that!
--------------------------------------
Your band "Nine Stories" was named after a J.D. Salinger collection. Do his
writings mean a lot to you?
LL: Well, in some ways they do. I like his short stories. I think he takes
things that are sort of mundane, things that happen to you in normal life,
and he tells really depressing stories about those things. Which I really
like. And that's why I had the book in the first place. It just sounded like
a good band name.
