Now that's funny!!!

That only leaves me with A and E.

It may be funny, but also makes all those involved look pretty stupid.

I thought you were kidding!

Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame Retires 'D' Chord

CLEVELAND—The D chord, famed for its part in innumerable classic rock songs, including "Back in Black," "Bad Moon Rising," and "Don't Be Cruel," was retired Tuesday during a ceremony at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum.

"The D chord has firmly cemented its place in rock history," said Hall of Fame founder and Rolling Stone publisher Jann Wenner at the induction, during which Eric Clapton, Chuck Berry, Pete Townshend, R.E.M.'s Peter Buck, and several other rock luminaries simultaneously performed the chord one last time. "We are proud to honor the legacy of this immortal and eminently prestigious musical tone by never allowing it to be played again in any genre of rock music."

The D chord will take its place in the museum's permanent collection alongside Jimi Hendrix's guitar, David Bowie's Ziggy Stardust–era platform boots, and the whole-note rest.

I LOVE the Onion.

Sarcasm at it's finest vintage.

I thought the funniest part was the whole note rest has been retired, haha!

Oh yeah, and that whole note rest has got to go, and I mean now!

Do I have to transpose everything I have with a "D" in it into a new key? Will I face legal action if I refuse?

The Onion is always good for a laugh.

So if you already have one, it's going to go up in value, right?

Is Dm still in the game? I cannot go without it...
(i wish they chose G# instead...)

Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you
