Dave's posts always open more doors than they close. A conundrum, the man.
We've taken too much for granted ... and all the time it had grown ...
From techno seeds we first planted ... evolved a mind of its own ...

 Some detail would be nice    :mrgreen:

Uwe feels compelled to bring this up occasionally, going back to the early Pit days when I made the mistake of bringing it up although I've long forgotten in what context.

Here's a copy and paste of my response from the last time he brought it up:

The Bonnie story: when I was 22, a co-worker set me up with a girl who she said was just perfect for me. She turned out to be 27 y.o. radical leftist with a big drawing of Che on her refrigerator. She had taught her 10 y.o. daughter to always refer to police as fascist pigs. I took her out to a popular dance spot where she griped because she wanted to dance to "acid rock."  The story amused Uwe.

I understand that the Marley family are planning a significant foray into the chemical market now certain States are "altered-states"... :o

"Acid Rock", haven't heard that in a while!

This was 45 years ago and "acid rock" was already becoming a dated phrase.

Could have been worse, if it had been five years later she might have wanted to dance to prog.  ;D

Hendrix predicted acid rock would go out of style even when it was in its prime.  But I still like it even today.

You have my sincere apologies, in a wild and freaky off-beat rhythmic pattern... :mrgreen:

Contrary to what James Bond says, a good Gibson should be stirred, not shaken.
