After disco took over, to pass time, Brian Wilson, Sir Paul, Stevie Wonder and Phil Collins started a jam band called One Trick Pony.

The had a jet outfitted with a back line so they could have privacy and jam while flying between the US and England.

They had to switch to iems because. Stevie's left hand keyboard bass lines used to vibrate the plane too much. At least that's what they told him. It was just Paul getting tired if him stepping in his bass lines.

This went on for about 10 years until Brian decided to get back with The Beach Boys and finally learn to surf.

If you look at the cover of the Tasseomancy album "Do Easy", you can see what happened to the pony.
 
According to the recent "heavy bass" thread, anything above 12 pounds will have its own gravity well and pull small objects like picks and loose change into orbit around it. Basses heavier than 14 pounds risk collapsing on themselves to form a black hole.
Unfortunately those heavy basses don't attract pretty gals. There must be a leak in the Theory of Relativity.
 
Einstein's Theory of Relativity was inspired by the Chicago song "Does Anybody Really Know What Time it Is", despite the fact that the song antedates the theory by more than 70 years. Proof of the time travel paradox lies in the earliest formulations of E=MC2, where the ratio of matter to energy was assumed to be 25 or 6 to 4.
E=mc^2 only applies to standard tuning.
