Is this for real???... or is it "April Fools"???

Such an April Fools prank. I'd love it if it was true, though.

I looked at the byline.
I know this guy.
I think he's fucking with us.

It's an April Fool's joke... fuck.

Fuck you, Adam...! This, Dinosaur Jr... WHAT NEXT YOU BASTARD!

This just in! Sonic Youth have broken up!

Take that, SteVen!

damnitttt

HAHAHA.

I was getting very excited, I didn't realize today was april 1.
dang

Haha, good one. I actually believed it for a sec.

yeah...captain beefheart at the molson ampitheatre in toronto...yeah right,

I don't have to admit I was buying it or anything...

When I read the Keller Auditorium here in Portland, I started getting pretty suspicious though.

So it was an April fools? Figures. When I read the title of the thread I thought "I heard Beefheart doesn't leave the mountains?". HAHA.

Last I heard he lived in the desert, not the mountains, but yeah.

He goes to every Lakers game...

This goes back to another thread. Beefheart's probably the only musician I'd pay $100 or so to see. Can you believe it's been 28 years since his last album?!

The sad thing is, I remember reading an interview from 86 or so when he said he'd been working on new music at his house and that it was pretty wild stuff and he'd return to the music world eventually. We're still waiting. I guess the only thing I can hope for is one day maybe some tapes of him banging on a piano at his house are released. Though I do recall an interview with Gary Lucas from the late-80's or so when he said he'd visited Don recently and worked on some music with him. Highly doubt anything came out of that though. Crazy.
