Way back in '64 a lad called Vincent Furnier convinced some of his school chums to participate in a talent event. Not one of them could play an instrument, but that didn't stop them. They forged a band called the Earwigs, dolled up just like the Beatles and mimicked the total thing. In spite of not actually being musicians, the lads won. They quickly learned to play, and so they hit the stage as a genuine band.
