Courtney Taylor-Taylor
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Courtney Taylor-Taylor (born 20 July 1973) is the primary songwriter, lead singer and guitar player for The Dandy Warhols, a band he co-founded. He attended Sunset High School in Portland, Oregon. The majority of the songs are written by Taylor-Taylor, including hits "We Used To Be Friends" and "Bohemian Like You".
After a mixup involving a hotel receptionist, he changed his name from simply Courtney Taylor to Courtney Taylor-Taylor in 1999.[citation needed]
He once dated Jane Pratt, the founder of Jane and Sassy magazines.
He appears in and narrates the film DiG!, a documentary about the relationship between his band, The Dandy Warhols, and sometime friends/rivals The Brian Jonestown Massacre.
[edit] Family
Taylor-Taylor's cousin, Michael E. Armagost, was Third Mate on the SS Edmund Fitzgerald, which sank on Lake Superior in 1975, drowning all men on board. This was most likely the inspiration for the release of a cover of the Gordon Lightfoot song "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" on The Dandy Warhols' second album The Black Album.
