Let's spread some musical misinformation

Many have heard the story of Focus having to cram the 6 minute Hocus Pocus into a 4 minute slot on TV. Less known is how polyrythmic playing came into being, which was when an African band was told to cram two 3 minute pieces into a 3 minute slot, which was resolved by playing both at the same time. Many bands I have seen in pubs have also done the same, although with less melodious results.

Hopefully, nobody will decide to play the Rush 2112 album backwards, at any time during the year 2112.
It will destroy the universe!
And even if it doesn't, it will still make that completely annoying "wicky-wicky" sound, and nobody really needs that.
Absolutely nothing happens if you play any Rush album backwards. All Rush albums are written and performed as Crab Canon (musical palindromes).

If you have or suspect having been in close contact, you are recommended to self-isolate for two weeks or, as the time period's called in music circles, "Sugababe membership"
