Foggy Notion

Chip Roy. What a fucking embarrassment.

I remember seeing this on Austin Music Network shortly after it was recorded. I think he's 16 or 17 in this video.

According to this Houston Chronicle article three days after the raid, HPD identified the powder as cocaine. At this point, Art was still shooting down conspiracy theories and maintaining the story that a confidential informant had bought heroin at the house. https://www.houstonchronicle.com/houston/article/Powder-found-in-police-raid-identified-13578839.php

I think I remember reading it was 18 grams. A little over half an ounce, which is consistent with personal use. No evidence of scales or baggies in the house. These people were not dealers. And yeah, some cancer patients smoke weed. They don't usually do coke and heroin.

That pot and coke could have easily been planted by a cop or cops who didn't get shot first. Cokeheads don't leave a gram and half of coke just laying around. They do the coke. Who buys an eight ball, does half of it and says, "I think I'll save that for later"? Unless they were chopping it up into lines as the cops bust through the door, I'd bet it wasn't theirs.

In the middle of all this, Art is hanging out courtside with a known cokehead. Oscar De La Hoya probably had more coke on him when this pic was taken than was found in the house on Harding Street.

That's my hood. Tanglehood! I am not on Nextdoor and was not aware of this jackassery going on. It ain't me.

Goines might be incapacitated now, but according to this news report that came out the next day, he was well enough to write a note and pass it to Art after being shot. He was still working the cover up while being treated at the hospital. https://abc13.com/hpd-chief-recalls-struggle-that-left-suspects-dead-officers-shot/5110369/ "Houston Police Chief Art Acevedo said a senior officer shot while serving a narcotics warrant at a home later passed a note to him at the hospital saying he had to jump in there when other officers were down.... According to Acevedo, once two officers were down and a third was shot, the other officers left their cover positions to pull their fellow officers out of harm's way. The 54-year-old senior officer breached the door when he knew his partners were down. "I had to get in there because I knew my guys were down," the officer later said in a note to Acevedo. "That just speaks volumes as to what this man... just his courage under fire," Acevedo said of the officer. This was the third time in the officer's career that he had been shot. He was shot before in 1992 and 1997."

Speaking of P90s, here's a cross post from the Gary Clark Jr. thread. I've seen him play his signature SG with three P90s. But check out this Flying V with three P90s that he played on SNL.

My daily watch is the same, but I use the two-ring Zulu instead of the Nato style strap. Maratac makes great straps. https://countycomm.com/products/maratac-zulu-watch-straps

Cabo > Freebirds Ain't even close.

I paid $55 for it. Guy said he was moving and didn't have room for a second bass. I need to order a set of flatwounds for it.

Almost kinda, but no. It's a 1980 Hondo II Professional p-bass copy made in Japan at the Tokai factory. It's a pretty close copy of mid-70s Fender made with a solid ash body and nitro finish.

What kinda idiot pays for porn? Here's some sunburst porn in a different flavor. Picked this up yesterday. It wasn't free, but almost.

Ha, that's good.

Yeah that's pretty much it. He really does seem extra nuts today though. He's totally lost it.

Wow. Just wow. Y'all watching this shit?

In case you wanna buy the Sweet Home Alabama Strat, it's listed at the ink below with other celebrity owned gear including a couple Dumbles... https://cartervintage.com/collections/celebrity-owned And to echo what others have already said, yeah JJ, that clip is really good.

Isbell's comment about the guitar being played and not locked up in a vault seems like a subtle dig at Dirk Ziff. There are more pictures of this guitar at the link below, including a couple that really show the distinct red patch below the toggle switch that helped King identify it years after it was stolen. I'd never heard of "tag fade" before. Back then Gibson put a small paper tag on the toggle. Depending on how long the tag was left on, the finish faded around the tag, leaving a brighter spot underneath. Hence the name, Red Eye. https://www.lespaulforum.com/forum/showthread.php?132199-The-Ed-King-Burst

Why you no like big headstock?

You don't see those very often. That's the STRAT model from 81-83 that was the upgrade from the standard Stratocaster. Matching headstock, gold hardware, hot bridge pickup. The middle tone knob is actually a two-way rotary switch that gives you nine different pickup combinations when used with the regular five-way pickup selector. These guitars were available with C, D and U shaped necks.

It varies by the model. That Deluxe 18 combo is based on the tweed deluxe 5e3. I know they make other amps that are based on Vox and Marshall circuits.

Here's the right link for the Deluxe 18 combo: https://reverb.com/item/9919219-fulton-webb-deluxe-18-2005-black Fulton-Webb is the guys at Austin Vintage, Steve Fulton and Bill Webb. Bill is/was Eric Johnson's amp tech. High quality, boutique type amps.
