He also has Ds (Down syndrome). The band name is one of the words Mr. Gage can write.
The group provides diverse sounds: art-rock, heavy-metal, acoustic folk-ballads, industrial riffs, etc, and Bill Gage continuously refines and re-works his vocal improvisations.
BILL's approach to songwriting is always in flux. The first album BEATLES CHINESE was shaped by a series of challenges the band gave Bill Gage: first to name the songs he wanted to do, and then to sing them, as the band figured out what to play, and each song was quickly recorded. The backing tracks for BILL's second record BAT MAN were recorded in advance. Bill Gage listened to the tracks, sang over them, and then named the songs (and the record).
Live, the BILL show presents a sonic kaleidoscope of punk, psychedelia, pop, and hard rock, Bill Gage tying it all together using his incredible voice and edge-of-the-seat performance (with theatrical touches like the cape he wears for "STEVE PEPPER"). Between songs Mr. Gage chats with the crowd, announcing the next song and letting the audience know they're about to hear something "REALLY GREAT". While some of his words are not always clear, his intentions are obvious and the crowd stays right with him. Bill Gage is a mild-mannered gentleman, until he has a mic in his hand: "LET'S ROCK AND ROLL!"
The band includes Daren Follower (drums), Gaylen Moore (bass), and guitarists Eric Morin, Greg Ansin, and Mr. Gage's brother, john. Past members include Paul Desjarlais of Pseudonym (1987-91), Stephin Merritt of The Magnetic Fields (1987), and David M. Curry of Empty House Coöperative (1996-2000). BILL are working on a new record.
A jazz-pop band called "bill" is from San Diego, California and was possibly started in the 1990s (information about this bands history is scarce). The albums of the San Diego "bill" are called "End of the Hits" and "Birthday Suit."
Another band called "Bill", this one playing "alternative rock", are from Mexico City, Mexico. Even fewer pieces of information can be found about this group, but they have professional studio recordings and are playing regularly.
Also there is a Leamington, UK based 3 piece punk band under the name of Bill.

How in the world did those folks
get Pete ' sold to them, with his
signature?' granted the times may
have been different, unless he
was co-erced or worse some one
signed for him, which is possible
and more likely, come to think
of it.
I wouldn't mind seeing the
remake, but it'll be hard living up
to the talented cast of the original.
Then again, I thought the same
thing about Bill S as Pennywise as
opposed to Tim Curry and he
really surprised me, so who
knows?
@ultragare
I’ve seen this so many times it didn’t take long to notice all the little details. 😂
For example: They accidentally swapped the voices of the father and the short-haired son at 2:43 when they’re singing while flying through the air after Elliot explodes the boat. 😂
Another one is at 0:40 when the mom loses her voice for a moment when singing.
Also, the short-haired son is one of the friends in Grease and the mom is the “former-swimmer” who dies mid-way through in the original Poseidon Adventure.
Fun Fact: The actress Shelly Winters actually performed the swimming scene in Poseidon Adventure herself which involved swimming underwater with debris all around her.

We got a bill of sale right here
That says he belongs to us
We bought him fair and square last year
And we own the little cuss
Look here, read the writin' that gives us a legal claim
Oh, we got a bill of sale right here
With dear little Petey's name
We got a Bill of sale in hand
And, lady, if you don't budge
We'll pick you up right where you stand
And bring you before the judge
That boy is our property
Same as the family cow
'Cause we got a bill of sale right here
And we're gonna take him now
You can't have him
He's gotta do his chores
You don't love him
Paint the barn and wash the doors
All you've done up to now is break his heart
Shine shoes, turn screws
Fix a broken fuse
You'll abuse him
He's so good at feedin 'hogs
And just use him
Pitchin' hay and choppin' logs
Look out or I'll take you apart
We'd like to see you try it
We got a bill of sale right here
He's ours until he dies
Stay where you are
Just one more move
And you'll get it between the eyes
You won't make a slave of him
Even if you connive
Yes, we will!
'Cause we got a Bill of sale right here
We got a Bill of sale right here
We got a Bill of sale right here
Right here!
You can't have him
He's gotta clean and sweep
You don't love him
Feed the hens and comb the sheep
All you've done up to now is break his heart
Plant seeds, pull weeds
You'll abuse him
Carry water from the well
And just use him
Answer every time we yell
Watch out or I'll take you apart
We'd like to see you try it
We got a Bill of sale right here
That says he belongs to us
Fight all you want
Won't do no good
To holler and fume and fuss
Leave town, keep on goin'
Before I can count to five
We got a bill of sale right here
We got a bill of sale right here
We got a bill of sale right here
Right here
Right here

Nora is definitely a good example of a Class A Mama Bear never mess with a tough woman
@jacksonbryant2577
Damn right on that
@maliikprior5243
Absolutely! That's why she's my favorite!
@SlayerOfTears
Nora is THE definition of "strong female character"! She was raring to go and would have torn all four of them limb for limb.
@DEFC0NZER0
The Gorgons are lucky that Elliot dealt with them instead of Nora, she would've literally torn them to shreads.
@honorakelly5289
How did I not realize her name Nora. I'm a nora.now I have even more of a reason to sing this ; as an abuse survivor.
@honorakelly5289
Much like me now, seeing as I have a daughter now. I wish someone would have done that for me, but I did have my Dad and I will forever be grateful. "Mommy:" didn't find me til I was 15. And she has been mommy ever since .
@starbright45
U don't want to mess with this mama bear
@curlytoes22
So is Mrs Gogan - even if she’s a villain
@nickofriant8512
"Leave town, keep on going before I can count to five." Best sentence in the whole song! What a badass lyric. 😃👍🐉
