Let's spread some musical misinformation

[PillO]

Best be careful about telling deliberate tall tales, even in jest! Had a teen girlfriend who was not the sharpest chisel in the toolbox, told her that the little weirdo town of Summerville, California, was founded by a cult and originally called "Sumer-Ville", named after ancient Sumeria, and what do you know, I caught her repeating that story to other people and swearing that it was absolutely true!

Blah, blah, blah deleted.

You misrepresent Summerville as being as being founded by a cult. It was founded by The Cult. They intended to headline a festival there each summer.

The Clash was billed as a second act, but got lost on the way looking for Hooterville.

Which was a miscommunication in itself. It was supposed to be Hootieville named for Hootie and the Blowfish.

Interestingly, Hootie and the Blowfish's Darius Rucker's hometwown is Blowes, Arkansas. Funny, right?

Geddy lived in his backyard?

Yup! In 1966 He was teleported to Earth from planet Zort.

Alex used to be a monk at the Temples of Syrinx. As he didn't agree with the leaders, he fled to Neil's backyard.

China, which has been making cheap copies of basses for some time, is now cloning bassists. The first one to be released will be the Geddy Li.

There are no temples in Syrinx. But there is a nice tea shop.

Everyone seems to miss that joke that Rush made.

The bass clef was actually modeled on Marie Antoinette's breast.

And her double nipples.

And her double nipples.

It's a little known fact that barbell piercings were popular amongst French aristocracy in that period, although there is speculation it was simply a product of inbreeding.

Actually not true. Very few people know that he was actually from the planet Ca'n-A-D'a.

He was not "transported", he was exiled for playing too many notes.

ZOG has spoken.

Kings X's "Summerland" from the seminal album "Gretchen is made to go to Nebraska" is really about Summerville, but the name was changed to avoid any potential lawsuit.

Yes, they saw an old clip of The Association playing 'Here Comes Mary' and took it too literally.

It has Debussy as background music.

The tea shop was frequently visited by Burton Cummings and The Guess Who,where they were known to take no sugar in their tea.

Gorrilaz is the real band. It's Damon Albarn, Paul Simononion, etc., that are fake, as they are all actually actors.

And much like Andy Kaufmann's comic creations, Sid Vicious was just a nom due guerre of Gary Oldman. The reason why it looked like Sid couldn't play bass, is that Gary Oldman can't either.

The drummer from Def Lepard actually has two arms but wears a prosthetic torso during gigs to hide the fact. The car accident was a poorly thought-out "fake news" publicity gimmick.

Rush Limbaugh was the founding member of Rush, hence the name.
