Adam Ant is the stage name of Stuart Leslie Goddard (born November 3, 1954, London, England), lead singer of 1980s pop group Adam and the Ants and also a solo artist. Adam, as Stuart, was a member of Bazooka Joe the band that The Sex Pistols opened for in the Pistol's first live appearance. Adam and the Ants began as a punk band, but by the early 80's they had taken a different path making poppy "AntMusic" and by 1981 were one of the biggest bands in Britain. Pop/New Wave music was good to them: they won a Grammy for Best New Artist in 1981, and had many hits that crossed the Atlantic mostly thanks to the new music station MTV. His name allegedly comes from the 1960's BBC television series "Adam Adamant Lives!". Other accounts say that he chose Adam because he had seen paintings of the Garden of Eden and wanted to live there, and Ants in parody of the Beatles. Additionally, there was a cartoon by the name of Atom Ant in the mid 60's that might have added to the mix.
