Let's spread some musical misinformation

Finally scientists gave the brown note the attention it deserves. A paper, written by Doctor E. Brown - yes, the one from back to the future - explains why we still didn't pinpoint its exact frequency. The brown note already existed a few hundredths of a second after the big bang. Its frequency must have been mind boggling high, due to the extreme density and temperature of the rapidly expanding universe. Over time the frequency lowered with the ever increasing entropy. Conclusion of Doc Brown's paper: "As the universe is still expanding, the frequency of the brown note will never be exactly known."
In physics there are four states of matter - solid, liquid, plasma, and gas. The brown note is responsible for all gas in the universe. Without gas the Dutch oven would be pointless, and the Hindenburg would have remained safely on the ground.
Millions of years ago a large meteor entered the Earth's atmosphere and gave off a strange sound. the sound was investigated and found to be in the range of the Brown Noise. This noise caused most of the dinosaurs to quickly dehydrate and they soon died off.
The Pontiac GTO was named after the "Golden Throated One," Johnny Cash.
At a concert last night, Carlos Santana's mother was proven correct-his face did freeze like this:
Basses with a zero fret are designed that way to circumvent copyright claims by Fender and Gibson.
The makers of "zero fret" basses have caused confusion since the introduction. It used to be clear that a "zero fret" bass was fretless. Now you can never be sure.
In other words, basses with zero frets aren't fretless.
My theory is that it induces gravitational waves, hence its effect.
I thought it was C programmers versus Fortran programmers. Fortran predated C, hence 0th fret came second and the 1st fret was first. The 2nd fret must therefore have come ninth or something.
I had an amazing conversation with our drummer after our gig last night
WOW! l know we are here to make stuff up but .... come on ... who would ever believe that !!!
Drummers are rarely fired. They are generally the most skilled musicians in bands and often have the best understanding of music theory. What's more, they are usually the first to learn new songs.
Ours normally just explode.
Q. What do you do when the drummer is playing well, playing in time, is sober and not hitting on the singers G/F?
A. Fire him because he's not a real drummer!
