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?
