librarian Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 "We'll continue to reserve nominations for worthwhile rock and roll bands like Chic, Randy Newman, Abba, The Beastie Boys, etc. - you know REAL rock and roll!" Definitely had me there for a moment - I thought, Good gravy this man is out of his bleepin' gourd... Whew! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILSnwdog Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 It is now official. Beyond all doubt. Wenner is a douchebag. He simply doesn't get it. Ummmm... He doesn't know you very well Gary! :LMAO: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I can recall, the "John Rutsey interview" (the thread was at least a couple of years before he died) was so controversial that the thread was removed completely. It's too bad too since I didn't keep a copy of it, but it will apparently live on forever in the hearts and minds of those who remember it. :P Edited April 25, 2013 by rushgoober Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually found it on my computer (though it's not on TRF) - probably best that I don't post that fake interview again, especially in light of Rutsey's passing. It was a fun one though.

Presto! thanks, man! the funny thing is, at least for this thread, i didn't REALLY think i'd fool anyone - the whole thing was designed to get progressively more ridiculous, and the last line was supposed to give it away completely if you didn't get there already by then. if not that, the SECOND post links to the source of the article, which is just a dancing clown gif - if anyone bothered to go that far. ironically, this is how lies and hoaxes (and probably brainwashing) are effective though - you start with things that are plausible and then make them progressively more and more implausible, but sometimes once people have already taken the bait, they don't realize that the tide has turned against them. it's happened to me many times.
