Revisionist nonsense

So the entire pantheon of music for the past five decades hinged completely on Muscle Shoals and FAME Records.

Bono, Ozzy, Alicia Keys, none of whom have ever set foot in Alabama, prattle on about how people always ask about how music reminds them of landscapes and inquire about the origin of funky sound, and they unanimously reply that it all began with the mystique of Muscle Shoals.

Give me 10 million dollars, I will line up the same celebrities and they will read statements about how coffee crumb cake or Punxsutawney, PA influenced all the music of our time.

Random Punxsutawney resident, aged 85: "There was this guy ... he and I shared a house with a dirt floor and he had long hair and would not be served in the diner. Anyways, he knew the drummer for The Crickets and was the biggest fan of Lead Belly, well he lost a limb in a car accident. So he began walking, just walking, took five years, till he walked hisself to a small record studio in London called Apple Records. From that moment on, I tell you, the music sound would never be the same. Praise Jeebus."
