Why isn’t Alex Jones telling me that the two National Guard personnel were crisis actors?

patti smith's version of "gloria" is not a cover of the Them song. the lyrics are different! the instrumentation is different! and I cannot correct this blatant error on setlist.fm because it "helpfully" auto-corrects it to the Them cover. if you have an in at setlist fm please hmu
