Let's spread some musical misinformation

It's one very small bassist that can screw in a light-bulb.​

Four tuning keys, only three posts.

Obviously, two strings per tuner. It all makes perfect sense and speeds up tuning.

And a spare tuner in case you need extra tuning. It's a genius system.

The Wanton Song was the better of the two tracks under consideration. The Sweet and Sour Song never it made it onto a Led Zeppelin album.

The Wanton Song was originally by The Goons, wasn't it? The band, that after several line-up changes and creative turns became The Stooges, although I think Max Geldray guested on the first couple of Stooges live gigs

Oh sure. Next you are going to tell us that Sid Viscous didn't play his bass either...

Sting played those parts too.

 

[-Asdfgh-]

That's because the Wanton song was inspired by going next door of the recording studio to Wong's Wanton House during the recording sessions;
Sweet & Sour Song came about because Wong's was closed for renovations during the mixing sessions and the band had to go a few extra blocks to Chong's Chow-Mein House where wantons weren't on the menu but had free mints by the cashier's desk between the mens and womens restrooms, causing the band to get sick and suffer wanton a-band-on-mint.





BTW, musesickall ill-litteracy is when your cat both upchucks hairballs and uses your pedalboard as a kitty-box.

The fusion of Mandalaband and Gyro frequented a very depressing establishment in Manchester called Bob's Basic Bistro (mostly Spam-based meals). Hence the eventual name Sad Cafe.

Sid Viscous

Spam became the first food delivered by email.

 

[pklima]

Delivering spam by email was inspired by Hank Jr's song "Fax Me A Beer".

It has come to the attention for IPANA - the International Performing Artist Naming Authority that names are not properly distributed. John Cougar Mellencamp will now be known as John Mellencamp. Mel B of The Spicegirls will become Mel Cougar. Sting will become B. Sting. John Lee Hooker will posthumously become John Lee (thus gaining a Fairport Convention song about him). Cher will become Cher Lee. Surely not, I hear you ask but yes, it's true. Unfortunately for Bono, due to an administrative error the Swedish pop singer Robyn will become Robyn Bono and we will no longer be able to talk about the Irish rockstar.

Unfortunately for the Irish rockstar, most fortunately for the rest of the world.

That's not misinformation. I have no fame and no fortune and I can't have a good time. (I can't afford it! - oops just let the facts get in the way of a good story again!)

The Rolling Stones reportedly once put out a hit on a paparazzi that took pictures of them gathering moss.

Bono still hasn't found what he is looking for. At what point will he just admit that what he is looking for doesn't and may never have existed? In fact is probably a figment of his imagination. And then he can just shut up about it all.

The Rolling Stones haven't rolled since the early 80s. They don't talk about that though as they are afraid of the lawsuits.

Jimi Hendrix briefly considered joining Emerson Lake and Palmer in the beginning when they formed.
This would have meant the band would have been called Hendrix Emerson Lake and Palmer.... or HELP for short

A high powered bong can be made by mounting an accordian to a set of bagpipes.

A high powered bong can be made by mounting an accordian to a set of bagpipes.

The best way to enjoy the bagpipes is with a good whiskey, some oatcakes and a mature cheese in front of an open fire on which the bagpipes are burning. This is after you've burned the accordion and banjo if it's a cold night.

What's worse than a Scotsman with bagpipes? A Scotsman with a banjo.
