I was backstage watching this on a monitor when it happened. I was joking with a co-worker, and said, "He's gonna say 'magic hand,'" when he actually did just that.
A Beefheart fan just doesn't stand a chance with a puzzle like that. He said "Magic Band" twice -- obviously the "right" answer, but it just wouldn't take.
That "dope-huffing pothead stoner" (pretty redundant, I'm sure you could have come up with some other inaccurate superlatives to improve your Reed stereotype -although, in your defense, you're writing for the Mercury, so it's not like I should've expected any better) somehow managed to win about as much money as the average person makes in a year before making one stupid mistake. I'm sure you have the right to criticize, though, as only the most intelligent people spend their days writing blurbs about YouTube videos for a mediocre weekly's website.
For a minute, I was wondering if he'd heard me.
