“A truly proud country doesn’t measure itself by the things in creates, but rather by the power it grants to union bosses and politicians.” — things nobody has ever said.

    Having guitars with a “Made In America” sticker can be worth something as a selling point, and guitars made here always cost more than their imported equivalents, but the fact is that guitars made elsewhere are usually pretty darn good. Very few musicians are wealthy enough to absorb the costs of compliance of manufacturers dealing with a hostile government.

    Bad news for Gibson, but good news for guitarists: Obama’s economic geniuses have created a vast sea of pawn shops that are absolutely overflowing with guitars.

    (If you see a Les Paul Standard, blue finish, lemme know — some asswipe stole it from my house last Thursday.)

    Michelle ate more alfredo pasta than any guest ever seen, hey hey…

    Good thing they lowered the sodium! I am sorry to channel Morrison again. I suddenly have an urge to subsitute heroin for parmesan cheese on my pasta.

    My bad, that last post should have gone in the Olive Garden thread.

    Nonsense.

    Meanwhile…
    (I am plagueheart, because I like names that begin with p.)

    I had to try really hard to restrain myself and not say something like “just like I think that an XX person calling herself a man and expecting equal treatment as male is a bullshit point of view”. The explosion on my dashboard would not be worth it.

    Hendrix mostly played Fenders, Joe, but he did play Gibson’s on occasion.

    That is a Gibson SG he is playing on the second song on that link.

    B.Moe, I missed that swtich. Thanks.
