Hi all!
I apologise if this has been discussed on here before, but...
While browsing through some music files recently, I came across a song called "Lizzy Stride" by a band called "Maybrick." No kidding - Maybrick, Lizzy Stride...Need I say more?
Needless to say, it instantly caught my attention.
Now while I admit I instantly jumped to the conclusion that there was a James Maybrick - Elizabeth Stride connection in the song, it seems that wasn't to be.
A search told me that "Maybrick" were a rock band from the 1980's - which was before the diary, etc of James Maybrick surfaced, and thus before he was known as a major Ripper suspect.
Still, even though the "Maybrick" link seems non-existent, I thought the title of the song, "Lizzy Stride", was interesting enough in itself to ask on here.
So, my question is, does anyone know if this song was actually a song about the Elizabeth Stride that we all know of, or is it no more than a strange coincidence?
Also, is the name of the band, "Maybrick", a coincidence or does it have something to do with this song? (Perhaps it's possible the song was made after the Maybrick diary surfaced, though from the little I do know, that doesn't seem likely.)
Either way, it'll be interesting to know if Lizzy does really have a song about her, or it's yet another coincidence.
Thanks in advance for any answers!! 
Regards,
Adam.

It is perfectly possible that such a blip of an incidence in a fraudster's life- his hearing the song- might well have given him the diary idea, Adam. Well done, excellent work. |

All,
"joshua and jared norton, brian scott, susan dobson and kristin maling formed maybrick in 1996"
... from the band's website:
http://http://ca.geocities.com/maybrick.online@rogers.com/biography.html
No mileage there, it seems - they were formed long after the "diary" was either forged or published.
