Moar fun with Steely:
Jeff 'Skunk' Baxter who did some guitar work for them, got his name not from the old 'fart story', lol, but by being involved in 'skunk works'......black ops on the tech side.....working as a frontman for an anti aircraft system that was intended to fail. Deep state skunk aka "The Royal Scam".
