I sometimes get the Dimbleby brothers mixed up.

Oh, I've got one of my own now: Ted Nugent & Todd Rundgren. I had to google to check that the guy who's a racist is not the same person as the guy who had a feud with the Lennons, and in the time it took me to write this I have already forgotten which is which.

I was convinced that one of these bands was an Amelia Fletcher project and the other was known for a disastrous concert (some kind of collapse?) that claimed the lives of multiple audience members. I just wasn't sure which was which. but it turns out the disaster I had in mind was actually a suicide at a Swell Season show, and my brane had muddled up the details. pretty perplexing!
