RESTATEMENT OF FBO OBJECTIVES
It was a simple idea -- admittedly one no one had ever thought of before -- in early 2006, when the Failed Bands of Oklahoma registered for a free spot on Blogspot and starting charting out new territory: respect for failed bands, tips for future failed bands, and efforts to garner press coverage for failed bands.--> Happy birthday to the FBO!
In three years, the FBO has picked up four members and attracted -- curiously enough -- many critics. One attacked FBO 'Top Fan Rich Trott' -- whose title may be slipping soon -- in early 2008, by suggesting comments made on Mark Knopfler during the FBO's Mark Knopfler Week were out of hand. The critic was right -- clearly -- but the knock on Trott was out of line too, and the FBO responded.
This year the FBO continues its efforts to assemble failed bands at a show in Guymon, Oklahoma -- sadly the FBO postpones the day of May 2008 to September 2008 -- and makes a general call for transparency in the entertainment and creative media: prodding creators to show decisions and reasons behind their artworks.
Also the FBO bans people and institutions that fail to do so, or make aggrevious errors.

I'm looking for any information i can find on The Wickers of Norman, Oklahoma. I had their cassette and loved it...thought every song on it was good. But I lost it somewhere along the way. I would love to find another copy out there somewhere in the great worldwide interwebs. :-) Email me at akenny2004@google.com if you have a clue where i could find another copy. THANKS!
PS...I saw them in Norman and got their cassette in 1988.
I remember the Wickers -- good call! I don't have any contact info but will ask a few people about it.
ttt
I hope the FBO can make angie's dreams come true.
