Okay so you don't think it is remotely true but then try to give it some credence by mentioning the source.
If you don't think it is true, then don't post it and especially don't try pretend you think it is untrue while really hoping people will believe it because of your claimed source.
Sorry, if I created that impression. I don't think it is true.
What I found legitimately interesting was that people in the industry, who actually lived through all of this, actually thought that this bullshit was realistic. That's the discussion I wanted to start. Why do people believe in these things and can't just accept the horrific ways of depression?
My source btw was former everclear bassist Craig Montoya. As he posted this on his facebook wall - meaning that people told him about this, not that he believed it -, I think it is okay to mention his name.
