Wait, Setzer has ALS?  Or was that just a tangential comment?

He has an AUTOIMMUNE thing…. ALS, MS (which another friend has and he is kind of the easy-going somewhat frail dad that plays the dad/granddad role)…

When your immune system doesn’t recognize your own body, it isn’t as simple as taking Jardiance to lower your A1C.

Yes but I don’t know when. Just showed up on my Facebook feed. 

Dang, y'all need to check out Brittany Howard's solo on the SNL 50 show, a duet with Miley on "Nothing Compares 2 U".  Just an absolutely beautiful Prince-like creamy Tele master class.  Wow.  She sang great, too.  Miley was good, the arrangement was oddly staccato, but whatever.

She’s a great player and singer. Helped offset Cyrus’s singing (not a hater, just don’t like her voice).

I think Miley is a great singer, but that was not her most shining moment.

How am I going to properly stalk those two background singers if he isn't touring any longer?

At least he’s got a criteria.

Bought a couple Eastman’s for this year’s gigging as part of a jazz quartet. Essentially ES-335 and an ES-330/Casino knockoffs from China. They have a nice, fat 1.72” nut width for extra string spacing for jazz chords. Eastman’s are a pretty killer value relative to Gibson (at least before tariffs).  Resale sucks.

How do you like them? I'm leaning this direction from Yamaha but in violin burst. No real need, but I don't have a semi-hollow yet.

I like the Eastman's a lot at half the price of the equivalent Gibson.  I've liked every Yamaha guitar I've ever laid my hands on, so I doubt you could go wrong with any of their models.

wrong thread, but whatever. 

Somebody I know well was working in Alanis Morissette's house this week.   He didn't interact with her...just her assistant.  They were in the home gym, and the guy noticed a harmonica in the cupholder of the treadmill.  He asks about it, and the assistant says Alanis plays the harmonica while running on the treadmill.  Wow.

Sounds like swallowed a jagged little pill this morning. 

With the 58 off getting silk screen on headstock, got old baby doll out of the case for a bit.

Theres some Afghan weaver out there who would be very offended if they had internet

I may've posted these before while on my Ricky rambling quest.  But here they are again:

One of ya’ll?

Idk, I think that would look pretty good in the Casa de Fuck.

No doubt, it'd look great.  But considering I just brought myself home that ES-345, I think a Ricky at this juncture would be a little too close in time to that purchase. 

And it appears to me prices are going down but haven't hit bottom yet.  I'm guessing summer will be a good time to find a deal.

I think y'all are missing the purpose of the rug.  Look carefully at how many pedals are down there just kind of blending in.  Think about how easy it would be for a spouse to miss those.

It's fucking genius.

Meanwhile, somewhere in Colorado these are being made… I guess those Firefly’s and Harley Benton’s have a use after all.

Man, I really hate the thing that’s made to look like the other thing but doesn’t work as the thing it’s supposed to be.

This table looks like shit and I’ll bet you knock all your damn drinks off it.

My brother got me a cutting board shaped like a Les Paul. You can’t cut anything on it. What am I supposed to do with a mini guitar shaped board?

An old friend got me a key holder thing that’s got these key rings on a quarter inch jack that you plug into these mini mock Marshall’s. I’m a grown ass man. I’m supposed to have some tiny fake Marshall’s by the door like some redneck housewife puts up “Live Laugh Love” silkscreens?

Nah, fuck all that.

I got my dad these for Christmas a few years back.

I had to look it up -- SG pickguards varied.  Never symmetrical but a different amount of coverage of the upper bout.

That’s actually cool and useful

One of those guitars I hadn't picked up in awhile.

Attaching the same gif twice to an old man rant post really sells it.

i grabbed one of those and jammed on it for a while at a guitar center like 8 years ago and I've kicked myself for not buying it. Even with the gold top, given enough time I'll eventually get around to buying one of those specials.

I have a buddy who has the Gibson version. Not enough difference to justify the cost.

I was very angry punching those keys on my non guitar shaped phone!!!! Warble garble!!!

You already know then.  Apparently you were there.

Well, I ordered a new bass. I’m going to give learning one more shot.

My boss is giving me a subscription to Scott’s bass lessons. We’ll see what happens there.

Wish me luck.

@Chad Fuck, you will be happy to learn that in less than 24 hours of me giving you shit for this post, I received this decorative wooden spoonocaster as a thoughtful gift.  Mind sharing your address?

I found this helpful when I was starting off.  No joke, has lots of good insights.
