Strato-happiness

I'm back from a nice little session with one of my Strats...I just love it, it's one of the most versatile instruments around. I will take an old Gretsch or a Gibson Les Paul Black Beauty if anyone is giving one away, however. I'll even trade the demons straight up for one! And what a deal that is...unrelenting misery and hellish torment forevermore! Ahhh, just like a day lounging around the pool sipping an ice cold drink---only slightly different. Well, as they used to sing back in Cream "The only time I'm happy's when I play my guitar..." (from "N.S.U."--Eric Clapton, Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker were in this innovative band-waaaaaaaay back in the 60's.) Even I was too young to have seen them live. I'm just grateful no one decided to do a disco version of "Sunshine of Your Love"-for that I do believe there is a supreme being, although he didn't keep Pat Boone from doing his heavy metal album! I'm sure it's purty damn funny, but...

How did Bob Dylan go from counter-cultural icon to that appearance in a Victoria's Secret commmerical? The answer my friend is "blowin' in the wind"...I know he doesn't need the money, so I imagine he was just wanting to add a little exotic experience to his life. Or he was wanting to rub shoulders (or something else) with the supermodels... The Times they are a Changin'.

Remember, the grass is always greener--until you water it with Absolute!
