Just heard All The Young Dudes on the FM radio. That’s the famous 1972 glam rock song by Mott the Hoople (and David Bowie). And no, that British group did not attend the University of Southern North Dakota at Hoople, which is best known for Professor Peter Schickele (of the musicolology and music pathology departments), the renowned expert on the career of P.D.Q. Bach. The band name came from the 1966 novel Mott the Hoople by Willard Manus. The descriptive term hoople is probably from the character Major Amos B. Hoople in the old newspaper comic strip “Our Boarding House”.
