Let's spread some musical misinformation

Hollow-body bass guitars are actually "retro" to renaissance era musical instruments. The original hollow body was fashioned from a gourd and included a mouthpiece so that in addition to fretting plucked notes on two strings made of drawn gut, a (typically lower 5th) could be played by simultaneously blowing int the body of the bass. The instrument was fingered using wooden flute-like holes where the modern "F" holes exist today. This configuration was short-lived as it was quickly realized that most post dark-age bassists did not have three hands, making it impossible for the instrument to be played to it's full potential by a single musician, and two people trying to play the thing just looked plain silly.

it worked fine, it just couldn't be played by women
 
I've been listening to the radio. Music (along with your right to be on my lawn) ended in 2006.
[/misinformation] Some musicians get played regularly. I believe it is called pay to play. [misinformation]

Music will end in 2026 when the machines take over.
Actually,disco was responsible for pay to play and today's music scene,because it was the beginning of drum machine's taking over all drum parts. This opened the door for machine's to take over. Machines do not pay bills or need money so they pay to play as a tax write off. The first time disco was played it ended all human involvement in music. From that point on no human has been involved in the music industry,though the machine's would have you believe otherwise. :smug:
