Because of a reporting error, guitarist Jimi Hendrix’s name was misspelled yesterday in a “g” section interview with psychologist Gary Marcus, who studies how the brain learns music.

“I hate typos!”

A story in the Metro Section of Tuesday’s Boston Globe incorrectly stated that The Grateful Dead’s “Anthem of the Sun” is the worst acid-rock album of all time.  That distinction belongs to Blue Cheer’s “Vincebus Eruptum.”  The Globe regrets its error.

In an op-ed written by Harvard professor Paul Krugman in Sunday’s “Week in Review” section the first and last names of a member of the acid rock trio “Cream” were reversed during the process of paste-up and layout.  The drummer’s name is “Ginger Baker,” not “Baker Ginger.”  The Times apologizes to Mr. Ginger for the confusion.

“I only have two names–you’d think they could get them right.”

In last month’s Woman’s World several ingredients were omitted from the recipe for Acapulco Gold Congo Bars.  In addition to those listed, prior to baking a dash of turmeric should be sprinkled onto the milk-egg mixture and a lid of primo weed should be folded into the dough before it is placed in the butter-lined pan.

“Mom–these brownies are great!”

The bond tables in yesterday’s Wall Street Journal incorrectly listed the bid-asked spread for common shares of Amalgamated Steel.  The opening price was 5 1/8, and the closing price, when played backwards at 33 1/3 rpm, was Yoko Ono must die.  The Journal apologizes, but is not about to give you your money back.

The Home Improvement pull-out supplement to Sunday’s Kansas City Star should have mentioned that the brown-colored blotter acid available at Home Depot can cause negative hallucinations, inducing freak-outs and . . . oh my god . . . the plaster is crawling off the walls and coming towards me!
