Let's spread some musical misinformation

So just to recap here

The more out of tune the music sounds to the players on stage, the more in tune it will sound to the audience.
This is how BeBop was invented.

Also some sounds move through air to the audience at different speeds. On stage free jazz sounds entirely in time and tuneful, it's just out in the audience it sounds like a confused mess. Because it sounds to confused it is illegal to charge people to listen to it
 
The only way a vuvuzela can be properly tuned is with a box of matches. In an airy, open place, set fire to the bell-end. Place the burning vuvuzela upright on a polished stone, glass, or steel surface, and stand well back. While most vuvuzelas are tuned to around B♭before the firing, rest assured they will all B♭, without question, once the flames have died down.

At this point, they'll all sound uniformly excellent and will bring years of guaranteed peace and joy to a multitude of music fans, right around the globe.

Isn't there a bell end playing it too, normally?
 
So you guys never heard of the DopplerBucker? Leo invented said pickup just after the humbucker. The DopplerBucker bends time and space to compensate for the Doppler effect.

That was when Einstein worked for Fender.

Gibson worked with Heisenberg on a guitar that allowed you to play fast or in tune, but never both at the same time. This was later developed into the fretless bass, but the lower speed threshold for playing in tune was set very low.

Bohr worked with Cage. Based on the paradox of if there is any sound if there is anyone there to hear it, 4:33 tested whether is there was no sound, would there be an audience. It turned out, much like there is background energy in the vacuum in quantum physics, there is enough sound in the background to spontaneously generate audiences. Hence even without advertising your gig, the universe will spontaneously create an audience of three people

Later the Heisenberg - Gibson headstock was developed. If the guitar is in the gigbag it's there in both conditions, with and without broken headstock. The condition will only be known by observation.

Headbanging was invented by a brain surgeon, who claimed shaken brain cells provide better connection between the auditory sensory organ and consciousness.

Marty Feldman was a very accomplished bass player. He perfected sight playing, an eye control method that allows the bass player to watch both the playing and fretting hands simultaneously. RIP Marty...

A lot of that was also caused by him having to watch the wanker guitarists simultaneously to see what extra chords they were throwing in.
 
In the Sixties it was easy to identify genuine Go-go Dancers. They all drove one of these.

Today, it's much harder to tell. There are many imposters out there who'll have the GogoMobil alright but none of the moves. The best way to check is to crank your stereo. If Go-go dancing ensues, you have the genuine article. If she freezes and reaches for her cellphone, you're plumb outta luck. Exit stage right.
