…which, if true, means death for us all.

Seriously, though, could you expound on this? Wikipedia was of no help.
The band Anthrax in 2001 issued a press release defending the use of their name and saying they meant no offense to victims of the Anthrax mailings.
Similarly, the band Jimmy Eat World had released their album Bleed American a few months before Sept. 11, 2001, and copies after that point had the title removed, making it their “second” self-titled album. (More recent copies had the title restored, it seems.)
Also, the group The Coup had an album, Party Music, scheduled to release in September 2001. The cover art had a group member appear to be “blowing up” the Twin Towers. :eek: (It was actually a piece of musical equipment being held, not some kind of detonator.)
If you’re serious, then I assume you mean The Beggar’s Opera. The Threepenny Opera wasn’t written until over a century after the duel.
Maybe that’s why historians don’t believe the story.
The UK James Bulger case - in which a small boy was abducted and killed by two older boys - is irrevocably linked to the movie Child’s Play.
“Possible motivators of the boys’ actions were heatedly discussed, both in the courtroom as well as in public discourse and the media: video violence and domestic violence. Venables and Thompson had access to a collection of violent films, though no testimony that the boys had been watching them was presented at their trial. The media, however, printed a list of such films (including Child’s Play 3, in which a possessed doll kills children), which they alleged may have motivated the boys and which were subsequently banned and voluntarily removed by several video rental chains.”
