Since LSU's victory over Bama was the only real highlight of this past football weekend (other than Rummel beating Jesuit...heh, heh, heh) I got to thinking about the name Clyde. Clyde Edwards-Helaire played a great game, so how many other famous notable Clydes do you know of?
Clyde Drexler (NBA) instantly comes to mind and then Clyde Barrow (of Bonnie and Clyde infamy), but that's about it. Did a google search and a few others do come up, but none that I had ever heard of. So how many Clydes do you know? Seems like one of those names that has just faded away.
Joe Strummer of The Clash did reference a Clyde in their song "Revolution Rock", but I don't know who he was referring to.
"...Careful how you slide, Clyde, all you did was glide
You poured your beer in me hat
Keep my good eye on the beat, living on fixation street
I ain't got no time for that, hey..."
I had an uncle named Clyde, but he has passed. I believe there is/was a poster on this forum whose screen name is "Krewe of Clyde's". And I assume that the Danny and Clyde's convenient stores/sandwich shops are still in the Metro area, but that's about it. Not going to erect a formal pole for this one, just a random curiosity question to get my mind off that debacle in the Dome yesterday.
