No, Ariel like a) appertaining to the sky b) The angelic Name or c)
the elemental from Shakespeare's The Tempest ...and....
Bender like a) 4-day-drinking binge or b) ambigous sexuality. basically
gay. <both English slang probably> It genuinely took some guts to call
yourself a bender in the early '70's.
anyway, it doesn't matter what it means as much as how it sounds. It
sounds to me like some sky-writing hallucinating stunt guitarist but
each to his own. I'm indifferent to the man's guitar but *dig* that
name!
