Just wondered. I signed up four years ago and I don't really use this name for anything any more. I know from other forums it can get a bit confusing though.
Is it possible to change your username / display name?

I am fairly certain that you can get one change of name. P.M Jordan and have a talk with him about it.
Howdy Lucky, I'm a big Elvis Costello fan. I like your avatar, mal.
...well, I guess some else can get LUCKY then.....
Thanks! As I'm sure you know it's taken from the infamous 1977 SNL appearance that got him banned from the show. I love that clip. Such an angry performance and the band are on fire!
Hi, Sliced Bread here. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction FlakeNoir!
Thanks from me too.. I got mine changed. (Audra )
He was booked on SNL and they wanted him to play the song "Less Than Zero". Elvis didn't want to play it because (allegedly) he felt that a song about British politics wouldn't really engage an America audience, so he suggested a few other songs but they were shot down and he was told in no uncertain terms to play "Less Than Zero". He and The Attractions duly took to the stage live on TV and played the first few bars of "Less Than Zero", before Elvis waved his arms and yelled "Stop! Stop!" then said to the audience "I'm sorry ladies and gentlemen, but there's just no reason to do this song here", then launched into this frenetic, angry version of the song "Radio Radio" which coincidentally (or maybe not) is about artists, specifically punk artists being censored from TV and radio and not getting their voice heard. Allegedly the producer of the segment was so incensed he spent the entire performance just off camera in front of Elvis with his middle finger extended!
There's not a video of it on YouTube but the whole thing is here. (link is safe)
He was banned from SNL for almost 30 years before cheekily recreating the incident with The Beastie Boys in 1999 (YouTube).
What a guy
