"I am telling you, that's the point. Weird is my real name. I don't have any other name that people call me."

Was the bassist being mysterious? Perhaps. But he was also being very truthful because stage names were real names too. Ziggy had always called Weird, well---Weird, so it fitted? As for this guy? He was odd but not unpleasant.

"Eddy? Well, nice to meet you. I'm bassist for the Spiders of Mars, Ziggy's band. I'm not sure if you've heard of us here or not. We're pretty famous back home on our Earth."

It still felt odd saying Earth as if this was totally normal. Was Eddy an alien? He could be.
