The Last Bass Outpost

This is a follow-up video to one I posted earlier.  Whether it's worth spending 46 minutes on I really can't say.  I think that would vary from one person to another.  Personally I found it a little dry, but others may have a different opinion, especially if they are really interested in the Gibson/Dean topic and want to soak up all available info. 

I just saw something about Kim Wilde.  She said that while her brother was in the next room writing "Kids in America" she got so annoyed at it she wanted to smash his equipment.  Having no idea, of course, that what he was writing would change her life.   

That looks fantastic.  I'm not sure if I'll get a chance to go to Sweden anytime soon, though. 

Anyone who thinks Hendrix's 'Star Spangled Banner" was a protest song or song of rage is pretty much missing the point.  What he felt like protesting against more than anything was that he wasn't being given a chance to spend as much time in the studio as he wanted to.  Besides that, he had already performed the "Star Spangled Banner" many times before Woodstock, usually followed by "Purple Haze" as the final number.  The atmosphere was always one of celebrating music more than anything else.  Not that there were never other things going on from time to time, of course, life being what it is. 

I don't look at Green Day's "American Idiot" as a rock song, either.  If I were going to include a Green Day song about America, I would have included "Last of the American Girls" instead.  Not that it's really a rock song, either, though. 

Dystopian would be more accurate in most cases since utopias don't exist.  But the conspiracy thing is meaningless anyway.  As a sci-fi fan, I found it entertaining the way he linked points that had no real connection to each other.  It made the absurdity of it all even funnier.  It seems he mostly does gear reviews, but decided to branch out and do something different for one video.  A good job, IMO and the levity was welcomed.  He did another video on finding your inner rock star which I also thought was pretty good, but it has little to do with this particular topic.   

In "discussing" Gibson vs. Dean, you need  to be wearing a tin foil hat when he gets to conspiracy theory #5 starting at 5:20.
