Women's clothes or model trains.............................


Where was I, yes, I taught at The Art Institute of Seattle for about 10 years, many of the female students worked as strippers in the most notorious clubs the Razmatazz and The Lusty Lady - It was, to say the very least, quite interesting.

I've never calculated it through, but the valuable models have meanwhile probably over-compensated the money I wasted on the Silly Purple Clown Bass and stuff! Goes to show that you should never collect with resale value in mind, all good things come to those who wait. 

The Silly Purple Clown Bass is an asset. Deutsche Bank is insolvent.

I had to read this twice, first time I read it i thought yoy regretted buying silly Purple stuff! The Clown bass was before my time here, but I think I remember now...  you have posted pics of it at some point recently in another thread. That was the 'bullet bass', right?

Dave, I believe the term "asset" is stretching it a bit, more of a "contingency" really ...





And of course it is not alone:

Hey, 'tis a livin' breathin' testimonial to the 80ies! And was supposedly used by true originators Kingdom Come on a tour, but there is no pictorial proof.



This video has little musical content, but is still pleasant to watch if you are suchwise inclined:

The red and blue ones could be named "Transformer" basses. They look a lot like the helmets of those characters.

Kingdom Come are true originators? Of what?

I think that's sarcasm. I remember my brother once called this band Kingdom Copy because he thought the singer sounded like Robert Plant.

[Nocturnal]

I think they were *lightly* influenced by Zepplin. By lightly I mean VERY.

Crikey , for a moment i thought you meant this -

Thank you, dear!

Back in the late 80s-early 90s the station manager of the big classic rock station here created a character called "The Chucker" -- a gung-ho interviewer who would call up celebrities and irritate them (e.g. interviewing Minnie Pearl and pretending to mistake her for Pearl Bailey). Really obnoxious. But I had to laugh when he called up the drummer from Kingdom Come and kept praising him for his work with Zeppelin. REALLY got the guy hopping mad.
