Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet were the original colours. Not only could you sing a rainbow, but also play one on the piano. Rhapsody in Blue was composed on such a piano, and uses notes in just one octave. Symphony in Green and Concerto in Yellow were less popular.

The secret to Green Days’ songs?So that's the secret behind Green Day's songs!
Taco Bell.
Many years ago, I was driving my daughter to grammar school (she’s 38 now) and I was hitting all green lights. She said “It’s Green Day,” I said “It sure is, we haven’t hit one red light!” “No, dad, the song that’s playing.”
And that ain’t misinformation, lol.

The most important things in bass playing are tone, appearance, and pocket.
This simple fact is known as the Adam Clayton phenomena.

Pocket being the place he keeps his brass? Or at least a small proportion of it...
Bono, often at the World Economic Forum in Davos, has expressed his love of statistics, and will be teaming up with Kate Bush on a concept album about log tables, the Fibonacci series, prime numbers, and excerpts from the most dull parts of OECD reports. The concept for the album is 'how to achieve the lowest sales of an album ever', which is an interesting statistic. 2 (the anticpated number of copies, one to Mr. Hewson, one to Ms. Bush), is a prime number, part of the Fibonacci series, and appears in several reports from the OECD.
Did he already predict the uncertainty contribution in the number of albums to be sold in the first 12 month, expressed as two times the standard deviation of the mean, being the equivalent of a confidence interval of 95.5%?
The intersection of math and music is fascinating. Whereas a perfect fifth is the 95% confidence interval, a 90% confidence is a third making it unclear if it is a major or minor finding.
A dominant finding includes a fith of those expressing diminished returns above that major third...
You have to be an astrophysicist to play bass in a blues band.
The Blues Moon is the astronomy term for a drummer that keep a steady shuffle.
Only really old people remember the saying "if it's too loud, you're too old".
