Penny Padgett quotes:
> Billy Barf, whose acquaintance with anything Italian was limited

> an ethnic accent until Isaiah Two Four, detecting not only its
> inauthenticity but also its potential for insult, drew the young
> band eponym aside for a word or two, though Ralph Jr., who had
> talked Californian all his life, had only taken it for some kind
> of speech impediment.
