It's fun to pretend sometimes.
I didn't see the fake news bit. OK, I was duped. I am shamed.
I wanted to believe it because it's something I've always wanted to do.

Well, you can always give it a shot. You can replace them with '73 Stones bootlegs...or Dirty Work.

“I didn’t shoplift nothin’. I told the cops they could find all that country pop bullsh*t in the Rubbermaid garbage cans in home wares… where that crap belongs,” said Spears. “I was just trying to give the people around here some damn culture, so I brought my whole collection up here to give away for free. Of course, I’ve got it all ripped on my laptop. My alphabetizing skills might be lacking, but I ain’t stupid.”
“Can you believe they didn’t have a Jerry Reed CD in the whole god***n store?” he continued. “Well, for 15 shining minutes last Friday night, they did.”
Do any of us ever place merchandice back in the exact same spot?? I see no crime. Case Closed!!

Ha, yes, this is heroic! And what?!! No Jerry Reed???? I happen to agree with him that this store's shining minutes were actually the 15 that they did have the Claw in stock.

But funny nontheless.

It's a fake story. That web site made up a few of them regarding this "person."
Didn't it occur to you or anyone that no city or town was mentioned? Plus it's under something called "Fake News."

Elvis Costello claimed he was going to slip alternate versions of his old songs into CD shelves and see if anyone noticed. Don't know if he meant he was going to do this personally, that's quite an image.

That Fake News archive is fun - probably a lot more fun if you know more about country music than I do - but this one seems appropriate:
Lengthy, Argumentative Comment Thread Brought to Satisfying Conclusion
A needlessly confrontational, obnoxiously pedantic discussion thread on a country music blog took a sudden turn at the 134th comment today, resolving quickly and amicably to the satisfaction of all parties involved.
“Obviously, it was just a fundamental disagreement,” said Owen J., who initiated the controversy by comparing a new song few have heard with an older one most normal people don’t remember. Another commenter, Gary, questioned the accuracy of that comparison, then the two spent several hours clarifying the exact nature of their disagreement, casually hurling personal insults and failing to change each other’s minds.
“Somewhere around the fourteenth facepalm and twentieth instance of the one guy picking apart the other’s grammar in an effort to seem superior, I started to doubt it would ever turn around,” said Keith D., one of many site visitors who watched with a mix of bewilderment and disgust as the exchange unfolded.
Then, as quickly as it had flared up, the quarrel dissipated, with both parties abruptly agreeing that the original point of contention had, after all, been rather moot, and what should it matter if two people on opposite sides of the country hold differing opinions on a matter of relatively little concern to either of them?
“Sure, I feel a little silly for getting sucked into it,” said Gary of the discussion he kept loaded in a hidden tab throughout the second half of his work day, firing off quips and insults whenever all coworkers and managers were out of viewing range of his computer screen. “But in the end, I believe it was a productive use of my time.”
“Because,” he concluded thoughtfully, “the final outcome was that I made a new friend today.”
