I loved this and you’re wrong about almost everything.

Motorhead + Dick Dale + vaginas = L7

Dang. That’s a pretty harsh assessment of the Eagles.

Also, I love that anything mathy always gets the “magic” tag.

All recordings of the Eagles need to be replaced by that assessment of the Eagles.

Yeah, John Cage ≠ John Cale.

(That said, the equation still works for Cage.)

Whoops, you're right… OR ARE YOU?!

(Yeah, you are.)

RUSH, though.

I can’t, I’m still laughing.

I was thinking you were right and he must mean Cale. OR DOES HE?

It's not wrong, though.

I thought this was "John Cage ≠ John Cage," which is also accurate.

Inverting these equations to figure out whether I should or shouldn’t seek out the bands I haven’t heard of is the most math I have done in years.
