In the twenty-first hundred , you do n’t need a record label connective or sexual favor to get backstage . All you need to know is how to edit a Wikipedia page .
David Spargo was wait on a gig by the dancing duo Peking Duk in Melbourne , Australia on December 2nd when he decided he ’d try his fate at get behind the scene to receive the stria . Rather than pleading , or sneaking in , Spargo did something ingenious – he just edited the banding ’s Wikipedia page so that it lean him as afamilymember , showed it the security guards , and then waltz straight in .
“ It was probably the most genius , genius move that I ’ve ever witnessed , ” the band ’s Adam Hyde toldThe Guardian . “ It ’s unhinged . He just did it on the spotlight , in a second on his phone . ”member , show it the security sentry duty , and then waltz around straight in .
“ He told the security guard he was our stepbrother or something , and showed them the Wikipedia page and his ID .
“ We end up having a bunch of beer with him and he was an right-down legend . He was n’t a weirdo or anything . He was like the most normal dude we ’ve ever encounter . That ’s what makes it more screaming . ”
But things could have been quite dissimilar of line . Though they look to have an air of sanction , Wikipedia pages can be edited by any person , any time . As such ( and as I hope you ’re all already aware of ) Wikipediainformationhas to be take with a apprehension of salt . And they certainly should n’t be accepted as a means of designation . Had Spargo ’s design been more sinister , anything could have happened . Thankfully , he just wanted to hang and down a duo of free bevvies .
As Hyde himself admitted , “ I ’ve got to tip my lid to that guy ’s kahunas … He ’s in all probability still drinking , the dirty dog . That , or attempt to penetrate someone else ’s green room . ”has to be taken with a catch of salt . And they certainly should n’t be accept as a way of identification . Had Spargo ’s intentions been more menacing , anything could have happened . Thankfully , he just wanted to pay heed and down a couple of spare bevvies .
Spargo rest listed on the lot ’s Wikipedia page , but now with the addendum “ Legend ” . Well played , Spargo . Well play .
