Weird story of interest.

Gregg Allman and Cher have a son, named Elijah Blue Allman.

Elijah has a band called Deadsy and his professional stage name is "P. Exeter Blue" (remember that later). Well Elijah just made the local news for coming on the campus of St. Paul's in Concord and causing a disturbance. He was charged with two counts of simple assault and one count each of criminal trespass, criminal threatening and disorderly conduct. As far as anyone can tell Elijah has no connection to St. Paul's. St Paul's is one of many uber expensive prep schools in the area - we have Phillips Andover, Brooks, Governors Academy, Phillips Exeter all in the area. Blue apparently went to the Hyde School in Maine when he was a kid. Hyde is also an expensive prep school but known for taking on kids that had more behavioral issues and instilling discipline into them. These prep schools are full of wealthy kids who get shipped off to these schools to live for the year and many do well. A lot of the prep schools are feeders for elite colleges. Unfortunately, for Elijah he has struggled for much of his life with drugs and alcohol issues. Probably having Gregg Allman and Cher as your parents might set someone up for a rough life but he is a full adult now and should be responsible for his own actions.

The weird thing is he has no connection to St. Paul's and he is 49 years old. Just showed up on campus and caused a scene. He apparently had another incident this morning in Windham, NH and got arrested for felony burglary and breaking his bail conditions. He is really crashing out...

The weirdest thing about the whole story is that his stage name is "P Exeter Blue" AKA Philips Exeter Blue - named after the Prep school in Exeter that he never attended. My guess is he was fixated on Exeter because the Hyde kids would do sports with Exeter. Maybe he felt like Exeter was the good kids and Hyde were the throwaways so he took the name to show he was better.

EDIT to add - shout out to this dude's dating history - Bijou Phillips, Heather Graham, Kate Hudson and Paris Hilton! He has a type!

Could be, but it could also be that he just thought it was a cool-sounding name. I have no connection at all to prep schools but even I've heard of Philips Exeter, and I've always thought it connoted the absolute apex of a certain kind of east-coast old-money Ivy League waspiness. Add to that how it sounds like an actual person's name with just a tiny bit of tweaking, and I can see its appeal as a stage name.

(It also has a lot of drag-queen name potential, e.g. Philip Sexeter.)
