I found this little gem this morning. Had no idea Gary Sinise (Lt. Dan from Forrest Gump) had a band or that he called it Lt. Dan Band. Here's the sites explanation as to why he named it that:
"Lieutenant Dan" is the character Gary portrayed in the 1994 film Forrest Gump, a role for which he earned an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor. As Gary began visiting troops around the world, people (even little kids) who didn't know him as Gary Sinise, the actor, would recognize him as "Lt.Dan". Those in the miliary also seem to identify strongly with the character. And so the name for his group was an easy choice: Lt. Dan Band!
I think this is a case of the celebrity taking his status a bit far and paying someone $25 to make his band's website.
