While Bush's involvement in 9/11 is disputed by conspiracy theorists, Neil Young is indisputably there in the melodic-depressive grunge music of Bush.

I think my favorite part of this is the implication that between 1969 and 1989, *nothing* happened in the Pacific Northwest
a heartless suggestion

Guess you're right -- that reading didn't occur to me, I assumed it was a flub of "14-year-old." Don't think I've ever seen that particular construction before (like most of the article, the phrase feels like it was autotranslated from another language).

It looks the business.”Ulrich responded, “We’ve been here 15 years.” Johnson shot back, “There’s nothing here that shouldn’t be. That’s fantastic.”An AC/DC icon revealed why Angus Young is a ‘recluse’ last week. Ulrich laughed and proclaimed, “I like that. There’s nothing here that shouldn’t be.” The two then hugged. Ulrich recently wrote on social media, “28 years ago today, on August 10th 1991, we played the first show on the AC/DC European tour at Gentofte Stadium just north of Copenhagen in Denmark.

Eddie Vedder Makes Painful The Who RevelationOnstage at the Rock & Brews in New York's Times Square in December 1989, Eddie Vedder's final Rock & Brews performance before his death at the age of 47, Vedder took aim at the Who, his favorite band, by revealing that they were "torturing him.""I've known the Who for years and they have been very kind to me," Vedder said of the band. "But lately I think they've been torturing themselves. I think they are trying to find something and I don't know what. They are playing for too many people and I'm getting tired of hearing them play and they want to play more."Vedder was referring to the band's recent decision to release a new album, With or Without You, which contains tracks about his personal life. Vedder expressed his frustration with the band, calling them "the biggest group in the world, the biggest band in rock and roll and I think they are not enjoying it."The Who recorded the album themselves, with Vedder
