We told you a tale about Enuff Z'nuff yesterday based on a message board posting by a band member. We pointed out that we weren't sure if he was being serious or not and included the quote that led to us questioning the seriousness of the posting. Turns out he wasn't being serious. No one has been shot, it was just a bad joke. Sadly, some other media outlets did pick up the story and left out the bit about not knowing if the message board post was serious or not. What can you do? Thankfully some did include a link to us so people could read the story in context if they clicked over. That doesn't always happen. But why the band didn't perform is still a big mystery.
