Twitter completes my Sunday with Fake Rock and Roll Facts hashtag

I woke up late Sunday morning needing a relaxing day in front of me.

I had worked tirelessly for eight of the last nine days.  My Larry Bird-like back needed a rest and my Larry Bird-like skin tone was in desperate need of a tan.

So I took the two books I’m currently entrenched in out to my neighborhood pool for some all-natural Vitamin D.

All was fine and dandy, sun a-blazing and birds a-chirping, until I heard a guy from the apartments above blasting some techno music out of his patio doors.  This was about two o’clock in the afternoon.  I thought to myself who the hell jams to EDM (electronic dance music) at that hour, unless of course they were still going strong from the night before.

What was even more abhorrently sacrilegious about his choice of music, aside from the fact that it was soullessly electronic in and of itself, was that it sampled both Led Zeppelin and Yes.  So aside from the incessant aunce aunce that was making my ears hemorrhage on a relaxing, sunny afternoon, I was being subjected against my will to Robert Plant’s likely unlicensed and most certainly, inappropriately placed “Gonna Give You My Love” over… and over… and over again.

I left as soon as my tan lines outweighed the unbearable beats from above.

I came back to the comforts of my quiet home to find a hysterically tasteless and musically-related hashtag trending on Twitter.

#FakeRockAndRollFacts

At least it took my mind off the aunce aunce.

These, my friends, are the reasons you need a Twitter account, for no other reason than to spend time thinking creatively and making others laugh.

Ladies and gentlemen, I proudly present the sick and twisted minds behind #FakeRockAndRollFacts.
