Fender vs Gibson

Dave's posts always open more doors than they close. A conundrum, the man.

Some detail would be nice   

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.

Thanks Dave!

Context is everything 


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

[uwe]

Voilà!

I think I need to catch up on my recreational drug use

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

Thanks Dave!

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.

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

Yikes! You could have wound up in a wheel chair!

Damn Kenny you beat me to it!

[Highlander]

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