Yeah.

In Spanish, "Stella Blue" translates to "Estela Azul" which means "Blue Wake," as in the wake behind a boat. At least ten Mexicans have told me that, and everybody seems to think it's really cool and that I'm really smart to make such a subtle play on words.

Right.

I actually picked the name after I had an inspirational vision during a Grateful Dead show, while they were playing the song, and decided get a boat, name it Stella Blue, and go sailing.

Later I learned that the song was written about Thorazine, which was a drug given to institutionalized psychiatric patients, but in the 1960's was also recreationally abused.

And folks wonder why I think everything is funny...
