Let's spread some musical misinformation

That's what butt plugs are for, but for singers and narcissism.
That's why drum samples were invented.
Sampling was invented by noted keyboardist/composer Joe Sample. Joe suffered terribly from IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome). He never knew when a sudden urge to purge would strike him on stage or in the studio, so he invented sampling to allow his keyboard to play itself while he attended to more urgent matters. He would turn the sampled track on and then run off stage or out of the room shouting, "Joe's gotta go!".
No, drum samples are like one of those 'stamps on approval' collector's deals. First they send you a snare drum as a 'sample', and you try to send it back as you are a bassist, but they send it back, plus a hi-hat. By the time you finally manage to cancel the thing you have an entire Neil Peart sized kit and the over-sized lazy Susan doo-hickey for rotating it. That's why drum samples are also evil.
When Peart was first setting up the drum rotation system the rotation speed had been specified in degrees per second but accidentally marked as radians meaning it was specified to rotate at 300 rpm using the 600 hp Wasp radial engine from one of Gary Numan's old AT-6 Texan planes. It nearly resulted in the death of Lee and Lifeson, who were saved only because the flying drums bounced off the industrial washing machines in the old warehouse they were testing the system in, hence they were deployed as protective barriers on gigs later, just in case of malfunctions. They also just used one of the motors from the washing machines rather than the Wasp. It also meant that Peart technically qualified for the Canadian space programme.
At the end of gigs the road crew would take their washing out of the industrial washing machines and reconnect the Wasp engine to the platform after the drums had been packed away and would spin their washing dry.

A song was written about him and the dilemma he faced about whether it was time to visit the bathroom:
I forgot to mention that it was after this that Peart wrote:
including, unusually, the music, but Lee and Lifeson felt it was unsuitable for Rush so the rights were sold on to an up-and-coming UK band.
You fail to mention that part of the deal for Peart was that he got to sing the song. The video and live performances were all lip-synced
It meant he was cleared to go into ooter space, eh. Or at least Manitoba.
Manitoba is the most pleasant place on earth. Mild in the winter, pleasantly warm in summer. Never any bugs or flooding.
In Germany it's strictly prohibited to play harmonics on the bass, as this produces tones in the range which has been reserved for guitars.
Yeah, in Germany, anything that isn't expressly permitted is forbidden. As there are no laws regarding square dancing, square dance calling is forbidden.
You can get a doctorate in Square Dance Calling at Simon Fraser University in BC, as well as at Ryerson University in Ontario
Most liberal arts programs will allow a double major in Square Dance Calling and Banjo Hootenannies
What if they square dance on your basketball court? Play basketball on their squares.

Having separated from the European Union, the British voted for a new tuning standard. 440 Hz, the Stuttgart pitch, was considered too European. 456 Hz has been chosen as the new standard. Why? "Because four five six is easy to remember", a spokesman said.
There is a long history of orchestra competing to have a slightly higher standard for A. Although 440hz stood for many years, the recent resumption in competition has caused academics to examine the trend. The Berkley School of Music has estimated that by 2050, A will be 640hz.
This is of practical importance as songs will all have to be rewritten a perfect fifth higher.
Nope, this is misinformation. No rewriting is required, as the instruments will be tuned accordingly.
Les Paul created many musical inventions including a sentient robot named Leo (Lifelike Expressive Operator) Fender (FErrous Non-Discriminating Electronic Replicant)
Les then lost control of the robot, and it was responsible for many inventions of its own including the Voyager spacecraft and Netflix.
