Yahoo! music is trying to tell me who the Antichrist is.

[RangerWickett]

I first became suspicious when I listened to songs on the triple album 46664, a relief concert in South Africa named as Nelson Mandela's prisoner number. It was a little strange that Bono from U2 claimed that Nelson Mandela was a president for anyone, anywhere, who loved freedom, and it seemed perhaps like some sort of war rally. As much as I love U2, I won't discount the irony factor of them promoting evil. And I've only ever heard good things about Nelson Mandela, but again, who are you going to trust, the Nobel Peace Prize folks, or Yahoo! streaming audio.

And now, they're playing Mighty Mighty Bosstones' "Ska-core, the Devil and More," in which the band that was once so innocent, now sounds like hellhounds. The song, "Drugs and Kittens I'll Drink to That," makes me think Yahoo has pegged the Bosstones as the four horsemen.

Unfortunately there are eight guys in the band.

I thought there weren't enough whacky Fortean conspiracies on the boards, so I felt the need to create one.

Bono will soon rule the world. Or at least, I hope so. There's something about the idea of a UN Secretary General who dresses like that that just REALLY appeals to me.

Um... the horses can shapeshift?

Don't you see it? There are two sets of the horsemen now, symbolized by the 4 on either side of the 666 in Nelson Mandela's prisoner number.

Innocent? Are you talking about the same Bosstones that I used to mosh to in college? They've always been loud, obnoxoius, and crazy.

Unfortunately there are eight guys in the band.

But only 7 play instuments or sing, the last guy is just the "band dancer". How'd you like to have that job to put on a resume.

No joke. Kids these days..... You ever hear the Bosstones cover Metallica's Enter Sandman?

I was a roady once. Seriously. Once. I actually put it on my resume at one point. Something like "audio engineer - stage monitor system for Blind Melon", or something like that.

It's not a conspiracy theory until or unless it contains one (or more) of the below:

The Council on Foreign Relations
The Trilateral Commission
The Bilderbergers
The Hollow Earth
Secret Antarctic Nazis

Actually, the "band dancer" arranges the horn parts for the group, IIRC. Since all that work is done before or during the studio recordings, he has nothing to do during the concerts but dance. Nice work if you can get it.

Hell yeah! It's on the same 7" single that had a Van Halen cover, if I remember correctly. Can't remember what the actual Bosstones song on the single was though...

Give it time, my friend.
