Some folks claim that Mr.E himself is MC HONKY. This is what Eels' creative mind had to say about this allegation:
"The NME in England does this article that says, ‘E puts out solo album under the name MC Honky.’ Which, of course, isn’t true. I mean, why do I need to make solo albums? I make eels albums, which are solo albums, really. I’d have to break up with myself to do that! Anyway, MC Honky heard about this article — and the press pretty much copied it, calling his album my album — and he got angry about it."
Of course, we believe in E's words. Don't care about mysterious conspiracy theories babbling E being the Messiah! and all that. Just appreciate this man as what he undoubtly is: a living genius. ;)
