A Boy Named Tragedy was conceived above a wet spot on a couch in the Chronic Pain Facility of the Goat Palace. ABNT is single mindedly committed to the eradication of songs/bands that sound exactly the same. They are also committed to keeping kids off of drugs. Following the Keith Richards model, they do them all themselves.
ABNT were ugly before it was cool, are outlaws in Goobies (Doobies in Goobies) and are on the short list for next years Darwin Awards. God would like to smite ABNT, but fears what would happen if they joined Hells infernal legions.
ABNT are both sensitive and angry. Like a man with a freshly trimmed mullet, they can take it and give it out. But please remember that they are always crying inside.
ABNT will: Paint your house, but you wont like the color. Insight panic in the masses. Take out the Garbage, but only if you tell us to. Drink beer upside-down. Promote oral hygiene. Solve none of the worlds problems. Make fun of each other and Neo-ludites at every opportunity.
A Boy Named Tragedy is a figment of your imagination. If you can see them, you’re either crazy or somebody put something in your drink.
