Perhaps I am not proud to be an American? Also, no one likes that song and it has no spontaneous, grassroots fanbase vs. something like “Take Me Home, Country Roads.”

I think calling He Man a superhero movie is a bit of a stretch. It’s a retro IP doing fantasy tropes for an audience that doesn’t really make much sense as people old enough to remember He Man as a going concern are pretty old at this point. Last year’s Superman was a success by a director...

At this point. I think we should just make “Welcome to the Jungle” the national anthem and get it over with.

You’re not supposed to sing along to “The Star Spangled Banner” because it is a shit song. Thats why we have a number of alternative anthems like “America the Beautiful,” “God Bless America,” and “Sweet Caroline.” We even do a Weird Al version of “God Save the King” called “My Country ‘Tis of...

Exactly. Unlike @mnewb1 you understand basic guitar economics. Congratulations, you’ve passed the bar. Enjoy your wood library PRS!

I talked a bit with a guy last weekend who was telling me about his guitar collection—30 guitars and half of them were Collings. Tell yr man to be glad he’s not married to this dude.

Breaking news from ESPN. Unprecedented insults hurled at England. What has Jolly Old England ever done to anyone.

No one expects the Spanish Inquisition I guess.

Oh, I was at no serious risk of anything. Just minor persistent discomfort. Much of my family demapped themselves voluntarily/accidentally at relatively early ages, and those that haven’t have been reasonably robust and long lived enough to become seriously annoying. As such, known heritable...

Dear esteemed council of Internet guitarists, I must confess that for the first time nearly forever, I am being forced to rest and relax. Yesterday they shot a laser beam into my leg to zap a troublesome vein that decided to stop doing its job. They also stripped out some other veins just to...

All Chicagoans of taste and refinement hate the Air and Water show and its Blue Angels and stunt planes and other pointless noisemakers of mechanized death and destruction. Noisy airshow hoopla is bumpkin stuff. Total yokel behavior. So @Honkridge is proud owner of a thoroughly correct opinion.

I think the necks fell off of three SGs the minute you mentioned it. Doesn’t seem to me theres enough wood/real estate to accommodate the full b bender situation in the body. Maybe could work up something like this with the paddles on the bridge...

I have never smoked, but as someone who has often hung out with smokers I agree with this. Vaping looks stupid and is constant and always seems to require dealing with people charging this or that or trying to be sneaky about vaping indoors or spilling vape juice. It’s a dorky nuisance that...

Time to “conquer the Matterhorn,” amirite?
