T Bone Burnett, the popular music producer from Ft. Worth, Texas, today denied all of the events reported in the anti-blog Overpaid Attention. Through his publicity agent Helen Weisberger at ThriftPromo, T Bone issued the following statement: ”I have never done or said any of the things reported in Overpaid Attention. Most of it appears to be outright fiction, and I don’t expect that anyone believes it anyway. How could they. But let me be clear, while these things cannot possibly be true, I also respect some of the ideas they have presented, but I will not say which ones, at this time. Metallison, the heavy metal Elvis Costello band I am supposedly putting together, is one big giant headache for everyone here at BONECO, and it’s not even real. The phones won’t stop ringing, and that guy from Metallica actually wants to do it now, and I don’t know what to tell him. But I did not do or say any of those things. But most importantly, I also did not issue this statement.”
