    Last night I went to see my friends new band. They cover songs of the 60s and 70s and while they were great for only being together for a couple weeks I noticed something. The guitar player looked like Neil Young after the Atkins diet. The hair, the mannerisms, and the way he played guitar so many different and odd guitars. When he sang Ohio doing the Young vocals it was spot on. Now to me it is clear that this is a guy from the Midwest who loves CSN&Y but to a conspiracy theorists they would ask: How can this guy sound so much like Young? Where did he get those guitars? Could it be that Neil Young is getting back to his roots in a cover band? Maybe if he and Neil were in the same room he could place these questions to rest.

    I thought of this when I saw another post about the Boston bombing where conspirators as saying that there was just smoke bombs, people weren't really injured and they were all actors. This is the mentality. I am not trying to be silly, I am pointing out the fact that little information that seems odd can get weaved into an entire story that stretches reality and yet is believed without question.

    So I have to ask, when you see this does it make you re-evaluate your thoughts about Boston, Sandy Hook, etc. or is my idea just silly? And if silly why?

    Considering that the song Ohio is about a tyrannical government what gunned down four students on a college campus, I doubt the conspiracy theorists would be so concerned with the vocalist from the cover band.
