I heard he tried to boot from the white album but there were some bugs in it.

This should be a fun little detail in a movie or something like that, but booting is just loading data, and doing that from analog media is nothing new.
edit: tbf, the author points that out, too. It's just a little joke.

I heard if you play the record backwards it boots you into Windows ME.

Maybe your system clock is out of sync? And it's from 2020/2022.

Seems ripe for a Grandmaster Flash remix.
