I just love this band's name!

The Peanut Butter Conspiracy... The Chocolate Watch Band... 13th Floor Elevators...
Blame the acid, I suppose, but the mid-to-late 1960s were a GOLDEN AGE OF GOOFY AND GREAT BAND NAMES.
One of my favorite names belonged to a group of
amateur musicians from New Jersey whose song, "The Reality of (Air) Fried Borsk" (no drugs involved there, eh?), is included on the great compilation, "PEBBLES, VOL. 3: THE ACID GALLERY."
THE DRIVING STUPID is simply an awesome name for a band!
The members were lead guitarist Kelley Rodgers, bassist and vocalist Dwight Harris, Richard Ehrenberg on rhythm guitar and vocals and Jeff Hildt on drums, some guitar, and vocals.
According to the band's Wikipedia entry,
Ehrenberg's son, Philip Ehrenberg, attends Atlanta's Paideia School and plans to make a documentary of the group. I hope the film explains how the band derived their name. I just love the name "The Driving Stupid."
