    I'm kind of scared I might buy the Ryan Adams Strat. I'm an unapologetic fanboy in the first degree. I bought that goofy Prisoner box set with the lights and figurines and hidden record. I've scheduled trips to other cities based on him being in that town. I even once drunkenly bid on one of his signed guitars he donated to a charity auction and ending up winning the damn thing (though I actually got a good deal and made money off of it when I decided to sell it last year).

    So my dream vision would be to take that Strat and mod it as follows:

    Rio Grande "Dual Calibrated" pickups setup with their Muy Grande at the bridge, reverse wound/polarity Halfbreed in the middle, and Vintage Tallboy at the neck. 

    Upgrade the electronics and hot rod it with treble bleed.

    Maybe - replace the stock pickup covers, tone knob, and pickup selector knob with cream or off-white colored ones.

    Lol.  That didn't take long. Two posts?:

    Ah, I wasn't making that connection. Still not really my thing but it definitely makes more sense to me now. And some of his more recent stuff definitely has an 80s rock sound.

    I'm ok with the Ryan Adams guitar except for this...

    I actually like that.  Fits right in with the late 80s aesthetic he's going for.  Ahh.  The old Strat HMs...

    US citizens feel helpless?  No shit, I got spit on in Moscow for being an American

    Did you go ahead and tell them it was all a big mistake, you're really Russian?

    I thought the whole point of that story is that the frog never realizes and dies.

    It never ends with frog wiseing up and jumping out. 

    Same with the frog and the scorpion.

    Frogs have a lot of problems they never get wise to.

    every show I wanted to see at cool venues was on Sunday..the day we left.  Until this year I have never been to Dallas.  This was the third time this year and not a good (I like red dirt music) show was to be found.  Next time, just straight to Austin

     

    Too bad.  Willie, Sturgill and a bunch of others are playing this Saturday.  John Prine is Friday.  Weezer/Pixies is Thursday.

    It's shaping up to be a big week. 

  6. And the dog ear P-90 is only different from the normal P-90s because of the kind of guitar they're mounted in.  The dog ears were added in so that you could add them to a hollow body guitar.  The dog ears provide a place for the screws to go into the top.  On a solid body, you don't need them because there's a screw that goes through the pickup right into the body.

  7. Glad you enjoyed the town and the show.

    I've never set foot in teh Death Star to watch a show.   I've been tempted (George Strait, The Macca, The Stones...) but I knew that I'd just be unhappy with the ginormous cavern that Jerruh World.

    I don't have $2k to drop on seats that would make the show worth watching to me.  Unless Led Zeppelin gets back together, then get back with me.

  8. Just to let all the Hugos, Denisons, bad teammates, and their ilk know the next time they post some kind of statement saying how outrageous it is that someone is being allowed to bully someone else my reply is going to be to tell you all to shove it up your ass.


    You’re confusing who the bullies are here. They had to go eat somewhere else. They didn’t get taken from their family and put in a cage.
  9. Definitely an Epiphone Casino in the rooftop concert. Epiphone gave each of the Beatles a sunburst Casino. John and George eventually sanded the finishes off. Paul kept his stock.

    There have been myriad reissues of this guitar. You can get a solid reissue for about $500. But if you want one like the Beatles (exact same specs, type of wood, etc.) you’re likely to spend about $1000.

    So am I the only one who thinks POTUS advocating for the abolishment of due process is an impeachable offense?  I feel like I'm taking crazy pills talking to some of my idiot right-wing friends.

     

    You are not taking crazy pills, but he hasn't done anything.  It's just more crazy talk from the Dotard.  Unbelievably destabilizing, autocratic, and downright scary talk.  But talk nonetheless.

    But no one can be surprised when he actually does subvert Due Process.  At some point, he'll figure out the Courts don't have an army, and then we're well and truly fucked.

  11. D's tried to work out a deal on DACA earlier in the year.  Trump sank it.

    Trump just said don't bother with working in immigration until after the elections in November.  So he sank any chance of that as well.

    Why should Ds do shit if the GOP controls all the levers of power and won't talk with them?

    i can't support this type of mini-Antifa behavior.  

     

    You are fucking crazy.  She deserves every bit of it.  Lying to us on one day that "it's the law" (it wasn't) and is complicit in a policy of separating parents from kids WITH NO PLAN TO RESTORE THEM TO THEIR PARENTS EVER.  

    She's lucky if this is the worst of it.  One day one of those parents or kids may try to take it up with her personally.

  13. This transcends partisan politics. It's humanity vs. inhumanity.  Good vs. evil.  We have to nip this shit in the bud RIGHT NOW. 
     

    This. If she was part of an administration with any pretense of working in a bipartisan way to solve America’s problems on behalf of Americans, then I’d be 100% against it.

    But she isn’t. She’s in an administration that blatantly lies, works solely for the good of some Americans to the active exclusion of others and has made fomenting divisions its bedrock.

    If your rhetoric is “fuck you,” then you don’t get any sympathy from me when someone says “fuck you right back.”
