Or the short route: what I said before.
Mmm.... I don't think the butterfly effect works that way.
No Ike: then Rock 'n' Roll springs from something else besides Rocket 88.
Overdriven amps aren't the same as fuzz. But jukejoint piano rolls
would have made their way onto the fret board of the guitar eventually.
No Grady Martin: No fuzz. Then we really can't get no... satisfaction.
Which leads to the Rolling Stones turning into a TGP Blooz Band of
rich lawyer/gear collectors, which due to their heroin habits then leads
to gaping holes in the tax laws, which then leads to the rise of
Phil Donahue as America's most powerful oligarch who then runs for
President in 2016 with Oprah as Vice President and Vajayjay Painer In Chief.

For Grady Martin's first fuzz listen to the guitar riff at the 1min 26sec mark:

If Grady Martin didn't plug into a faulty console, then fuzz would have
had to wait to be invented when Donny Osmond accidentally plugged
his electric toothbrush into a recording console, leading to the creation
of the "Tooth Fuzz". It sound's squeaky clean and nasty at the same time.
The Tooth Fuzz would have so enthralled a young Michael Jackson that he
gave up singing and dancing, and therefore there wouldn't have been any
careers for Michael Jackson-impersonators such as Usher, Justin Timberlake
or Chris Brown. Which would led to an imbalance in the universe with a
preponderance of Madonna impersonators such as Britney Spears, Pink,
"How Will I Know"-era Whitney Houston, Spice Gals, Béyöncé, and Lady Gaga.
As a result, the ILF website would be even bigger, since there would be
so many Tooth Fuzz fanatics. As a result of ILFandom, people would
become antsy with the concept of being locked down in one place and would
then forgo settling down into homes and taking on mortgages, and instead
they would take to the road in a nomadic, Fuzz Tooth-filled existence. After
homes became so unpopular that they were outlawed, people would have to
content themselves with pointing weapons at each other inside their own tents.
As a result the Second Amendment would be amended to include a line
about the right to carry tent stakes at all times and the duty to point
all available weapons at anyone who enters the perimeter of your tent.
Ike Turner was, he's still one of my favorite musicians.
