[Rumori] lars owns the chords of E and F

[Paul Goode]

I saw the E - F progression hoax this week. The page looked like it was 
torn from MTV.com (my only source of information, of course) and I had 
to believe it automatically.

The rush of belief was a pretty amazing feeling... a mixture of belief, 
non-belief, and blood rushing throughout my body (aggravation). The 
photograph of Lars Ulrich really made me convinced even deeper that this 
was factual info. After about 3 minutes of this 'high', I studied the 
URL and realized it was another hoax... otherwize I would have scrambled 
to tell my Internet cohorts.

I constantly have to keep a mental registry of all the hoaxes going on. 
To prevent from becoming a sucker.

But for real --- Could someone please make this whole Metallica story 
into a made-for-TV movie or after-school special?
You would have to keep the whole E - F progression hoax in there and 
play it out like it all happened. Thanks!
