Before there ever was a Bastard, there was ElectricPeterTork.

In fact, the name "First National Bastard" is related to ElectricPeterTork, and the Monkees!

See, the name First National Bastard, so I've been told, is just the name of Mike Nesmith's post Monkees band, the First National Band, with the "Band" dropped off and an adjective describing the Former (and once again) ElectricPeterTork in it's place.
