Folk music incites yet another violent beating

Banjo > knife

They say you shouldn't bring a knife to a gun fight. You can, however, win a knife fight with a banjo.

This new maxim was proven Monday night on Shawnee Mission Parkway when a man stopped a knife-and-frying-pan wielding attacker by cracking him in the head with a banjo.

Two 21-year-old men were drinking and arguing about music -- always a good plan if you want to end the night in unnecessary violence, according to police reports. One of the men didn't like something the other had said about his favorite band, so he picked up the nearest sharp instrument to attack.

No one has yet explained why the fight's winner happened to be holding a banjo at the time, but this is obviously just the latest cruel incident incited by folk music -- a genre who's inflammatory themes eclipse both the Satanic persuasion of metal and the fuck-the-police swagger of rap. If you're not convinced, here's Foggy Mountain Breakdown.
