Paul Kelly and the ...

[Nancy Everson <everson@SPCA.BBN.COM>]

Why did the Australian band "Paul Kelly & the Coloured Girls" change 
their name to "Paul Kelly & the Messengers" in the US?

Were they afraid of public reaction to a name that could be considered
racist, or what?  And if that's the case, isn't it racist elsewhere in the
world?

Just curious.
