Let's spread some musical misinformation

If your set is running long, just change all the 12 bar blues music to 11 bars and your set will be about 8% shorter.

It works in reverse too, but always use 14 bars at least, never 13.

In fact Punk Rock is nothing more than 8 bar Blues, played in 8ths, at a beat of at least 160.

In fact, Sid Vicious -as previously discussed the most talented bass player ever, was nearly fired from the Sex Pistols for suggesting that for symmetry they should play 16 bar blues in 16th notes at 160 bpm. He was instead given a reprimand when he said "No, no, that was the lack of heroin talking, I just shot up and am OK now. Let's go get sushi and not pay for it."

They moved it between 403 and 405.

That was the inspiration for death metal, but using hoe down music as the starting point. Moshing is just a form of country dancing.

Funny you should bring up dancing. Pogo dancing was originally done on pogo sticks. And of course, line dancing is just a cleaned up version of moshing.

Polka was originally developed for Blues.

With line dancing being a cleaned up version of moshing we can say that line dancing has come full circle, although obviously not in a Euclidean geometry.

Music notation was originally developed for polka, hence the term polka dots

Line dancing was created from moshing by people with CDO (that's OCD, but with the letters in alphabetical order, like they should be).

Songs with 'blue' in the title are always 12 bar blues. This includes songs such as Blue Suede Shoes, Blue Danube, and Blue Moon. Further, a modestly skilled musician can play any blues song in 7/4 reducing the number of bars required to 7 (with a with an eighth rest).

Don't forget Diamond Hard Blue Apples of the Moon. Keith Emerson played an early version of this to JFK and it was the sole reason for funding the Apollo missions. "We do these things not because they are easy but because they are hard - diamond hard, blue and appley" as the original speech went before it was edited down to fit the evening news. That and someone with CDO complained that 'appley' isn't a real word.

Also 'blue' in the band name always indicates a blues band. Blue Oyster Cult, Moody Blues and Blue Man Group are perfect examples.

The best funk songs always start with a half hemidemisemiquaver rest (1/128 rest) This puts the bass line starting just after the 1, making the funk. It was Bootsy that discovered this and is the reason that he said "Only a fool hits the one, there's no funk in the one".

Peter Green originally only played the greens. He didn't really disappear for all those years, but simply changed his name to Lionel Blue.

The bridge in music was originally the period during which the lead singer and the backing singers played the next hand of the rubber. Due to the devotion of Jon Anderson to the game the long guitar solo was invented so a while rubber could be played mid set. James Brown was also a big bridge fan ("take me to the bridge game" he would say when bored with a gig), or at least before he joined UB40 to engage in his other passions of drumming and reggae.

The keyboard stand was invented by Rick Wakeman when he realised he needed somewhere to put his synthesiser so used the ironing board he had brought along to keep his cape looking smart. This was later developed into the keyboard stand as we know it today.

Don't be silly. The bridge was invented to keep the instruments dry while playing Take Me to the River shortly after the development of electric guitars and basses. The development of the bridge has saved many musical lives.
