I believed it. Sadly it’s not real: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/plutonium-jazz
It seems believable given the story of the “Radium Girls”, workers who painted radioactive paint on watch dials to make them glow. They’d lick the tips of the brushes when they got too frayed… which eventually led to cancer.
Sadly??
Phew.
I came to the comments for this hope.
But Geiger counters aren’t rhythmic at all, radioactive decay is, pretty famously, random.
Rhythmic? No, not really. More exciting if the musician could somehow anticipate this fundamentally unpredictable event? Absolutely.
This sounds like something that was made up for a fallout game.
Of course, so does “bombarding myself with xrays and moving around to entertain the audience looking at my bones” and “including uranium in paint to make watch dials glow”
They did it with uranium too? I knew about radium, but not that.
