There was a recent Billy Gibbons hoax.

Hope this turns out to be a hoax as well
Not this time. :(

My last delivery area is a place called Lake Spivey in Jonesboro, Ga. It's a large private lake and I worked around it my last 24 years. In the early '70s they had a concert venue that eventually got shut down. This is ZZ Top playing as an unannounced opening act in 1971 for Ike and Tina Turner. I think that is Dusty Hill in the hat playing bass.

What is this private lake you speak of? Mn. has NO private lakes. The waters belong to everyone. There are a few lakes surrounded by private land with no public access but if you have a float plane or have a helicopter drop you and your kayak off you can use the lake.

This is a man-made lake, it’s about 600 acres. It had public beaches, an amusement park, and a Wild West Show a long time ago. During concerts, people would stay in the boats tripping out on the water. Pink Floyd toured when “Dark Side of the Moon” came out, I always thought that would have been cool to see. Those attractions were eventually shut down. Doctors, lawyers, and Delta pilots mainly live around it.
