My guess is that the first 3 letters of his name is a derogatory name for a sexual orientation.

 

It's a computer program, so it isn't arbitrary as to it's use.

You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.

Sad.  What a great musical legacy, like really no other,  New meaning to "fusion" styles.

 

My fave all-time sax great (of all times), Phil Woods, played on a few of theirs (Just the Way You Are and Dr. Wu).

 

Hilarious clip of Becker and F*#gen receiving the R&R Hall of Fame induction, throwing questions back to, and from, the audience.  

 

Can't say DF's last name but can use the euphemism that is the band name!
