I find the latter two more believable than the first one. What was the context for Modest Mouse being mentioned in an opinion – was it just a mention, or was it actually about the band?
Modest Mouse was mentioned by name in the 2005 U.S. Supreme Court decision in the case of MGM v. Grokster. Justice David Souter wrote that on the Grokster P2P network, “Users seeking Top 40 songs, for example, or the latest release by Modest Mouse, are certain to be far more numerous than those seeking a free Decameron, and Grokster and StreamCast translated that demand into dollars.”
As an aside, shortly after David Souter was nominated for the Supreme Court, I dreamed that he and I went on a date. He took me to see the soccer fields of his youth in New Hampshire. In the dream, my grandmother was very proud.
Souter lived down the street from me in DC, back when he and I both lived in DC. I never saw him around the neighborhood, though, since apparently he liked to go running or walking very early.
