Let's spread some musical misinformation

Heavily relic'd basses take it even further. Those were submitted to mechanical torture, equal to at least 25 years on the road. This treatment tightens up the grain to an unbelievable density, only equaled in the center of a massive black hole. These basses are guaranteed to bring their owners glory and fortune.

Jaco's bass of doom was actually a brand new bass apart from the relicing (half an hour in a cement mixer). You can sound just like him by putting your bass in a cement mixer. In fact those industrial dryers at Rush gigs can be rented for the reasonable sum of CAN$25 to relic your personal bass during a gig. For drums Peart will personally kick them around the car park after a gig and pour beer on them.

Paul Simonomnom of The Clash was simply trying to rapidly improve the tone of his bass in that famous photo.

Paul Simonom-nom-nom is the originator the internet meme "Nom-nom-nom"

A good portion of The Who's sound was due to the extreme relicing applied to instruments while in concert.

Some say, the backup instruments of the who were maltreated by the roadies after each show, to keep them well prepared at the same high level.

That's because of his great love of scones. Before a gig The Clash would go to the nearest Lyons tea shop for a cream tea, but he would always take a couple of scones to go. Scones are actually what punk bands like offstage, which is how Johnny Rotten ended up advertising butter.

On some occasions punks and police officers were seen throwing scones and donuts at each other.

Well, as the young punks used to say; snacks and scones may break my bones, but memes will never hurt me.

While police officers said: "Overdue scones could break our jawbones, that's why we prefer donuts over scones".

Police in the UK don't eat donuts, though. Each force has its own regional snack, such as the bakewell tart in Derbyshire, but in the southwest it is the scone! I presume that in Scotland it is deep fried Dundee cake.

Over here in the Netherlands it'll be fries with a frikandel, I guess

Oops, that's no misinformation...

I'd have thought sharpened stroop wafel would be the police snack related weapon on choice / frisbee substitute. After having been to the Netherlands this year I was delighted to find that wafel are stocked in the UK, but my music discovery was Canadian.

Stroofwafels originate from the city of Gouda, less than 10 miles from here. I hope you enjoyed your stay over here.

Very much. We even discussed whether we should move (but my wife would need to claim her German citizenship first)

Gregorian chant was the original rap.

It does predate this--but this is where they added the rhythmic aspect...

Looks more like a greens train.

For a brief period in the late 1960s the blues were banned in the UK, and only the whites could be sung (Whiter Shade of Pale, White Room, etc). And to answer Viv Stanshall's question, Nights in White Satin was performed by the Moody Blues.

Sometimes, blues can be about a dog, especially a dog that runs away on a train.

White rock is the natural complement to black metal. Just like slow blues is the complement to speed metal.

...and punk is the complement to anything else.
