He doesn't hate them so much as not consider them as human.

We're all NPCs to the Regime.

Yesterday was Arthur Lee's birthday. Today, like most days, is a good day to listen to Love

"Four Sail" is the one I reach for most often. Definitely overshadowed by its predecessor, but it hits me as hard.

(So glad I got to see him in the 90s even if he had laryngitis that show and couldn't really sing. It was just amazing to be in the same room.)

All my guitars have their day as my favorite.

This week it's the Vista Series Squier Jagmaster with upgraded pickups, and now a new volume pot and black skirted knobs. It's one of the best players I've ever had.

I'd love to do the 20 again, but there's only 16 on that list I don't already have.

If nothing else the cat has figured out that if she lies down beside me while I play Fallout she can get pets during loading screens.

I'd had the bass for years, so when I saw the matching guitar come up I knew I had to make the 2 1/2 hour drive for it.

I think the "curiousity" aspect has to do with the unique headstock shape rather than it being a 12 string.

I've been eyeballing Squier Paranormal XIIs this past week.
I really like the Sherwood Green.

Let us not forget his really awful Southern accent in "JFK"

The Split Sound setting is a really cool one though.

It uses the bridge pickup for the top three strings and the neck for the bottom three. So you end up with a really heavy scooped mid tone ideal for overdriven power chords.

Me too. But with faux scroll headstocks.
Both stripped a long time ago.

This insidious 1981 earworm popped into my consciousness today.

Today I also noticed that the band were playing Burns guitars from Jim Burns' final venture, Burns Acutalizers Guitars.

That's a Scorpio Bass and a Magpie II guitar.
I'll take one of each.

I kind of prefer the orangey red finish on these. But that's me.
Love to add one to my Jim Burns stable.

Probably the biggest issue with Burns is that Jim Burns, while an innovative guitar designer, was a really terrible businessman and all his guitar ventures were short lived.

And I would imagine it near impossible to break into the US market with the stranglehold Fender & Gibson had.

The Burns name had some cache in the UK as being used by the Shadows and Searchers among others. In the 70s Burns guitars were played by Slade and Marc Bolan. Elvis even had a Burns Double Six which he played in the movie "Spinout"

Sales don't always tell the story.
British company bought by an American company known for organs and pianos is never going to have the name recognition or sales of Gibson.
I have a few Burns/Baldwin & Hayman (Jim Burns' company after the sell out) guitars. They are unique and awesome.

Venues that hold 15k-25k

Now that's optimism.

The DoJ didn't release files including images of "death, physical abuse and injury".

Let that sink in as well.

Every time one of these big MAGA alphas attack a student protest they specifically target a girl.
Every. Fucking. Time.

That says a lot about who these people are.

This sounded especially good today.

I mean, it sounds good every day, but today especially so.

Best song about a near car crash you'll hear today.

Nobody in the house is suitably impressed but today I upgraded the volume pot on the Vista Jagmaster and it not only works like it should, but the soldering is not a big mess.

(I also swapped out the white witch hat knobs for black Jaguar skirted ones. Big improvement.)

You'll notice that when these MAGA dipshits attack protesting kids they always go after a girl first.
