I see that P.D.Q. Bach is still being ignored and treated as some kind of joke. The Wikipedia article doesn’t even mention him.

- chongli 4y agoWikipedia does have an article on P.D.Q. Bach [1]. Do you have any sources to contradict the article’s claim that he’s a fictional character? [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P._D._Q._Bach https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P._D._Q._Bach
- filoeleven 4y agoNope. Notice that I didn’t call his status unwarranted. My intent wasn’t to trick anyone; I just couldn’t pass up replying to a post that plays so perfectly into the character’s creation myth. But if you’re one of the exceedingly rare HNers who might enjoy “orchestral musical comedy” now that you know it exists, he’s worth a listen. This piece is more like sketch comedy than his others, so is more generally enjoyable even if you’re not an orchestral music nerd. https://youtu.be/MzXoVo16pTg https://youtu.be/MzXoVo16pTg
