Last time in Salt Lake City my kids were photobombed by @JosephSmith. See you Wed night at The Depot. pic.twitter.com/0tVceuOXks

@BenFolds @josephsmith That would be Brigham Young.

benjamin folds ‏@BenFolds14 Sep

@kamisthoughts @josephsmith really? Oops! Sorry! And I went to the museum and everything!

Kami Furr ‏@kamisthoughts14 Sep

@BenFolds @josephsmith It's alright. Maybe your guide was misleading.

benjamin folds ‏@BenFolds14 Sep

@kamisthoughts looks like most images of BY depict a man with a beard tho. You sure?

Kami Furr ‏@kamisthoughts14 Sep

@BenFolds Pretty sure. He has a cane and there are mountains in the background, and Joseph Smith never made it to SLC and never had a cane.

Kami Furr ‏@kamisthoughts14 Sep

@BenFolds Brigham Young didn't have a beard in his younger days.

Oops @kamisthoughts thank you! You're right. Apologies to Smith and Young. (AND Smith and Wesson) KIDS: last photo is of Brigham Young

Kami Furr ‏@kamisthoughts14 Sep

@BenFolds You're welcome! Glad to be of service.

Kami Furr ‏@kamisthoughts14 Sep

@BenFolds p.s. I expect an awesome discount on tickets to your next concert in SLC now.

benjamin folds ‏@BenFolds14 Sep

Sure. @kamisthoughts it's Wed night at The Depot. Solo Show

Kami Furr ‏@kamisthoughts14 Sep

@BenFolds Dang! I have book club that night. I'll catch ya on your next trip here.

Then someone said:

@kamisthoughts @BenFolds Sod book club! Go see Ben!

I'm still kinda freaking out about this! Too bad I have book club tonight, or I'd go see him! I'd cash in on that discount too!
