Two group names:  a new-wave group I saw advertised in NY a few
years ago:
		Immoral Minority
Friends of mine in Newark, OH:
		Modern Morals.

Most offensive individual/group:  
		Kinky Friedman, 
who used to tour the Texas Honky-Tonks with his group:
		The Texas Jew-Boys.

I heard him last month at the Lone Star, and he sang perhaps his 
most famous song:
		They Don't Make Jews Like Jesus Anymore,
which continues:
		They don't turn the other cheek the way they
			used to anymore,
		I heard that red-neck say as he hit the 
			hardwood floor,
		They don't make Jews like Jesus anymore.

He managed to find something to offend just about anyone who was or
could have been there.  He introduced a friend as "the most influential
Albino in New York."  His band brought him on with the theme to
"Exodus," Texas hoe-down style (pedal steel, fiddle, etc.).  I loved
it;  some of the folks with me were not so amused.
