though i want to answer this question with "Sarah Palin," I won't!

"Candidates for a lobotomy" was a 1990's punk band from San Jose California but I don't think you are referencing them.

To be a candidate for a lobotomy (brian procedure) you must have been a violent criminal who had a diagnosed mental illness or in some cases they were people who were developmentally delayed (downs syndrome, retardation) However there have been some rather famous cases of women that were seen as defiant or sexually promiscuous that were given lobotomies at the request of parents or loved ones. There are also cases of people with no mental illness using partial lobotomies as a means to cure chronic pain. Google these names: Warner Baxter, Rosemary Kennedy, and Alys Robi
