Reason for leaving: He found out Paul quit the band.

A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away.. a certain irresponsible alien insect spirit was experimenting with the genetic residue he found off a Snoopy pez despinser floating in a black hole and accidentally cloned a human. Afraid of what his parent's might think, this paranormal being hid his pet in the transportation of some uranium smugglers headed to the Milky Way. Before you know it, the human grew up into the gaunt teenager of Lewisville now infamously known as Barry, who depises the hypocrisy and insincerity of the world when it's convenient. Naturally, he befriended some weirdo personality that looked like Thurston Moore and who had nihilistic tendancies. His name was Alex Ganowsky, and together they enjoyed making noises in their spare time with western instruments such as the kazoo, cowbells, 7-11 whistles, and of course: guitars. Come to find out, Paul Ford & Josh Hatfield, lead feedback players of the band that was then known as Sticky, also enjoyed making such noises with Alex on guitars and swiftly became aquainted with Barry. One luke-warm summer night in Lewisville, one of Barry's many wives urged him to return an egg that she had borrowed from the Ford residence. On his arrival and delivery of the egg at Paul's shelter, he witnessed the practicing of a certain style of pop music, coined by 1990's media as 'punk', by Josh, Paul, and a long-necked soul. Mildly amused at the scene, Barry absorbed the soundings with a light heart and questioned the band after an interval of time between the poetic words set to music that they and many others defined as 'songs'. The conversation was profound:

Barry clap's with one hand.

Paul - Thanks..

Josh - We're sticky.

Barry - ..why?

Josh - That's our 'name'.

Barry looks puzzled, a rare expression.

Paul looks to the long-necked one.. they shrug.

A couple months later, Barry, now a master of manipulating the sounds of stringed instruments, performs bass octaves for the band now known as The Stickies, bringing with him a stage and musical presence that is beyond text description. To experience The Stickies nowadays is to experience the super-natural of contemporary pop music.. bring knee-pads, your dancing shoes, and plenty of riboflavin to the shows if you got any.
