| abstract | - Golden Circle (no real name known) was a student back in the late '60s whose name conflicted with the Royal Kings of the Golden Circle, so they had to change the name. Premiere volunteered, “When I was a frosh, Coronet explained it to me. Of course, Coronet liked to make up a lot of stuff, so take this with a grain of salt the size of a salt mine. He told me that what he was told was that it started out as the Royal Kings of the Golden Circle, and so the group was known as the Golden Kings, which got labeled the Golden Kids by everyone else. But in the late 60’s, there was a kid here who actually had the codename Golden Circle, and so they changed the name to the Royal Kings of the Golden Circle and the Platinum Diadem. Then, in the 70’s, the feminists of the group insisted on a change, so it became the Royal Court of Kings and Queens of the Golden Circle and the Platinum Diadem. After that, in the 80’s there was a big ongoing economic fight about the gold standard vs. the silver standard, and so the ‘Silver Crown’ part got added on. Then in the 90’s, the Americans dominated the group and decided to replace the ‘Royal’ part. No one’s made the name any worse since then, but that’s why none of us call the group by its real name. ‘Golden Kids’ is enough. The real name is just plain embarrassing.”
