Why this name?
I guess I am the only one left that was in the band at the time it was named. We had a list of 50+ names that we were considering at the time of the band's first gig that was coming up rather quickly. We were largely a southern rock band. I was, and still am a hopeless Beatle fanatic. In the Beatles (Lennon/McCartney) composition of 1968, "Happiness is a Warm Gun" John Lennon sings " Mother Superior Jump The Gun, Mother Superior Jump The Gun ", (repeat). This is also an popular phrase (to jump the gun means to act before fully thinking something through, or to act before you were supposed to). Since I am such a Beatle freak, and all the other guys thought it sounded cool, we used it, and it stuck.
