Q1-The phrase "lead balloon" has commonly been used
to describe an ill-conceived idea, or one whose failure is
both predictable and inevitable. The name then allegedly
arose when Keith Moon, after being invited to drum for
the band, thought the idea would go over like a “X"--
Moon evidently modifying the common phrase after
observing that “x” were quite large. Reportedly “y” liked
the phrase so much, he took it for the band's name. The
decision to misspell it was made because they thought
Americans would be stupid enough to mispronounce the
word "lead.“? Identify X and Y?
