Rufus made the first headphone monitoring out with an old pickled pigs feet jar and a piano wire.

Alexander Graham Bell stole the idea and used it for the telephone.

I heard that when he messed up a needle at a gig, he used a catfish bone as his replacement needle...and didnt miss a beat!

As a matter of fact, Rufus was the DJ spinning at Harpo's club in the movie 'The Color Purple'.
