It's April 26th not 29th. Come on Jones I expect better from you.

No, it's actually April 29, 1992. And that's always bugged me because I know he sings "April 26, 1992" but the song title is "April 29, 1992." I've read that he mis-sang the lyrics but they kept the take and the song title because the riots actually did take place on the 29th, not the 26th. This is worth looking into though, just not right now. Here's the wiki page on the album, with track listing:

My birthday is April 26, btw, so this whole thing is doubly maddening... still a great song, though.

Listen Jones......it's OK to be wrong every now and again. I will never believe your web of lies. April 26th, 1992 there was a riot on the streets tell me where were you? If memory serves me right I believe you were in Mr. White's science lab dodging oranges he was winging at people. It's either that or Mr. Huss's class watching an idiot drill through his hand.
