Let's spread some musical misinformation

Not many people know this but Bob Dylan's grandfather, Jeremiah Zimmerman, created the Zimmerframe, originally the Zimmerman Frame, but reduced to Zimmer Frame to reduce advertising costs which were by the word in the 1930s and as Zimmermanframe was too difficult for people to scan. It was from this Robert Zimmerman (Dylan) created the cradle for his harmonica by sawing off the top section and adapting it. Sadly, Dylan forgot to patent it and so had to become a professional musician rather than the engineer he had intended to be.

Like father, like son. The elder Zimmerman couldn't save money by working out that two shorter words is still two words and so the same cost!

The younger Zimmerman couldn't figure out that his wife was spending all the money.

Well the real story here is his wife was so secret Bob didn't know he was married.

Not uncommon with rock stars. They often black out for long periods. Keith Richards experienced a blackout that started in 1973 and lasted through 1986.

When MTV first started, it showcased all of the world's most talented, enlightened and gifted musical talent in all of writing, producing and performing and blessed us all with it's everlasting impact on music in general.

Nope! His blackout started in '66, hence "Paint it Black".

Keith claims that because Jagger has diaries of 66-73 and Charlie Watts claims to remember that period, it can't be counted as a blackout.

Would you agree on a whiteout?

Whiteouts are what Steven Tyles and Joe Perry have had. Some argue that Mike Nesmith had them as well.

Yes, there is significant evidence that 1966-73 existed across the world outside some parts of the North of England and Idaho. I think we can be sure Keef didn't spend the period in Wigan.

I remember it well! I was 1-8. Although I never have been to Idaho but I am making some potatoes for dinner.

The B-52s, having grown tired of Atlanta, attempted to buy Idaho in 1989. They planned on leaving the US and declaring themselves a religious plutocracy. They went so far as to write a song about Idaho in an attempt to convince the state's residents to sell. Unfortunately it remains a part of the United States.

This is actually true. Fred would have been a funny dictator!
You know everyone would have great hair.

You would think that with B-52's you could just bomb Idaho into submission. Take 'em for all their spuds.

They've been going for decades, gradually replacing members, right back to the original days when the band was the B-17s and the keyboard player was Belle 'Memphis Belle' Kapowski.

That was one of the scandals of contracts signed in the 1960s and 70s as despite the big hits the band couldn't get together the $1000 to buy Idaho. True, since then Idaho has improved and Keef Richards bought it in 2015 for $1500 for a wild party one weekend before selling it for -$998,500 back to the US government to account for the value of $1500 less the net $1,000,000 of damage Charlie Watts did to it, even after Mick cleaned off all the moustaches on all the portrait paintings in the entire state and removed 3 tons of toilet paper off people's front yards.

Oh Man! I never really followed them but when they were the B-17's they were a Flying Fortress! And when they became the B-29s, literally a Superfortress, they were just nuking the competition. They were so pugilistic they were even banned in Japan, and the Japanese were literally killing themselves to get at these beasts.

So was I, and I wasn't in Idaho either so we should have been to school together but I don't remember a felonious69 on the school register, let alone in my classroom. Are you sure you existed then, or now?

btw, everyone, pardon my history nerdism. When the B52s were the B17s, they were the glamour band (I admit, I had a poster of Memphis Belle on my wall) but they weren't the first band to complete a 25-gig European tour. The dumpier, less glamorous B24s did that with their ironically-titled Hot Stuff tour. Their record contract stipulated that they would earn enough to retire on the proceeds, but their manager, Homer J Simpson, was right about "don't trust people in the music business". They didn't make enough to buy Idaho, or even New Jersey, but they could just about afford to buy Lancaster. They had to keep gigging, but only at night.

Wow! They couldn't even afford New Jersey!?!? That's only like 7 dollars!

You mean a Lancaster, not the place called Lancaster. Common misunderstanding, and the grateful people of Britain gave the B17s a Lancaster. They gave the B24s two Lancasters on the promise they wouldn't return.

Anyway, who can forget the Jackson B25s with little Yossarian Jackson?
