It’s not really news — though of course we sympathize with the star having his stuff stolen — mostly we’re running the link because we find it amusing that having to play instruments you don’t own is considered substantive enough to warrant a headline.
- In related/unrelated news via The Onion: Local Idiot to Post Comment on Internet.
“What better way to take advantage of this incredible technology than to log onto the Internet and insult a complete stranger?”

- In the arena of ideas-that-will-only-work-if-they’re-executed-well-and-it’s-not, Fashion Indie launches their first (and hopefully last) “Andy Warhol Is An Overrated Hack Who Needs To Just Die Already” Day.
