after seeing their quite out of the ordinary performances, I believe that the Rock Bottom Remainders are a very exceptional band that perform to raise money for charities. They continue to perform purely because they are doing it for a good cause and they have lots of fun. I think that the reason they wear costumes to have enjoyable time while performing. Another author in the band is Stephen King, and one of his literary pieces is called "The Waste Lands."
