Cant wait to see that movie.

There's nothing wrong with taking a temporary break from the news once in awhile, but like RG said, I need to stay informed of the world around me. That's how I roll anyway.

I usually get my news from my salespeople. "Hey, did you hear about?"......Usually I haven't. But, that way I don't have to see the graphic stuff that goes along with it. Suits me just fine. And, Brent keeps me updated on the stuff I really need to know about.

That's the entire point of my praise. Movies like that that make you think. It had a lot of stuff in it that broke down society, it was totally worth every minute of watching.

I want to see it. But, I'm afraid I would be a nervous wreck through the whole thing....

It's on my list of films to see eventually Bogie. I know Jules liked it. Sooner or later, SW1 will write a review of it on the forum. The beauty of that is by the time I see it everybody else has already watched it. Therefore, no need to fret over any plot spoiler alerts.

If it's money hurting you, I'd suggest looking into Squier. There's no way I'll be buying another Fender in the future since the prices are outrageous, and I don't even see where it's worth it anymore. For under 500 bucks, Squier has those Classic Vibe guitars which are awesome. The praises have been sung through the roof on the Classic Vibe 50's Telecaster, that's probably the best guitar Squier makes (and the most expensive sitting at $379)

Squier has the Affinity Series Strats that are under 200 dollars brand new (or they were last time I was in the guitar store). Great guitars, and you get a wide range of colors with some of them. The Burgundy Mist and Shell Pink colors come in the Affinity series. You can get them in the traditional S/S/S configuration or with a Humbucker in the bridge.

Also the Squier Bullet series isn't bad either. I'd say Squier gives you more choices of colors than Fender does these da...

**I'd say Squier gives you more choices of colors than Fender does these days - BLAH message got cut off on me.

If you're looking for something to mod though, I don't know if the Affinity Strats are what to choose cause the nut size is different and the necks are a little smaller. But Squier does make awesome stuff for the cheap price if you're to look mod anything. They have way more colors too than you get from Fender. Ever since I laid eyes on that Burgundy Mist...

Serpico definitely sounds like a must see film with corruption in play & sadly once you are categorized as a criminal that label never is allowed to leave you by other members of society. Plus, if you are never given a chance at upward mobility through a legal means what else is a person supposed to do starve? Again, I've never seen Serpico, but I think I can anticipate some of the crucial themes throughout. Good stuff.

Small or not, your Star Wars collection would be cool to see since all of my Lucas memorabilia blew away in an 84 tornado. You seem like a person with intriguing interests off the beaten path. I like that. Yeah that sucks when computers die & you lose well written documents that you poured your heart into. I've been there man. It really blows. Thanks for breaking down major Serpico themes for me. I do know that Scarface is a top 100 flick by the American Film Institute. It's been...

It's been years since I've seen it [scarface] though. I go thru phases where I crave watching a good villain on screen or a genuine guy who is a sincere anti-hero just trying to get by & facing obstacles at every turn from a familiar past they are trying to leave behind, but simply can't or they aren't allowed to let it go.

One of the worst ever!!!!!!!!!!

Young American, young American, I want the young American

All right

I want the young American."

Happy 68th Birthday Bowie! I love your music man. Keep making spectacular records my man!

I loved vinyls. I had mine displayed around my room. I was a dork. But, music has always been my thang.

I did the same thing when I was younger and still do it to this day. I have my Judas Priest Defenders and Screaming For Vengeance mounted up

Awesome!

Yep I got both of them for Xmas. Going through Ruby right now. The game mechanics work a lot better than the previous one. No more stupid skates and the walking is a lot better.

Nick makes more money than anyone else on the public level in my entire state. I'm sure he'll be OK with whatever he does with those STACKS of money he gets.

Maybe he can make a cameo in another movie like Blindside.....

I have the same, ipod classic 80gig.Still working great and still love it!! Sorry about yours bummer.

Hold onto that thing cause Apple don't make them anymore. They are selling for insane outrageous prices on EBay.

The most gig you can get in a current IPod is 64.

Same thing happened to me Bogie. Kept getting error messages. Come to find out, my faithful classic 160GB iPod had died a slow 10 year old death. This was several years ago and I ran straight over and got a new one. I needed something to handle ginormous amounts of music and nothing else.

Weird video that is hard to understand...depending on how to look at it. The man is waiting for a date that is never going to show up...probably a lover that died or an old friend. Some how parallels with the young girl who wants her favorite band to show up yet knows they won't.

Interesting video. I see a parallel with grown up despair portrayed by the man against the youthful innocence of the young girl. Both are full of hope that someone is going to show up. But, neither will get it. The why part is up to interpretation but both long for it. And in the end we are all hopeless.....just waiting......for nothing. But, in the end all you can often do is laugh and live in the moment.

Great interpretation. it's a well done video.

Righteous Bogie! Check this out...

Very cool indeed!

They look awesome. I'm a sucker for anything purple, have always wanted a purple guitar.

They put it on the Classic Vibe 60's strats that are affordable. And that's the best thing about going cheap on guitars, you get a better selection of colors. Fender is so overpriced these days, I doubt I will ever buy anything from them again. I just don't see where an American made strat is worth 1,200 dollars.

Matching headstock too

I had a discussion about neon colors with guitars with someone last week. It is cool to see all those bright colors making comebacks.

He's always fun, it cost him money to send this to me. Then he wants me to send him 19 dollars, please.

Hummmmmmmmmmmm Don't know why but this reminds me of this... Let him have it...

Used to see those commercials often when I watched TV regularly. You would not believe how many of those low budget/small business ads are from the 90's still being replayed.

microsoft used to be the gold standard for productivity. no more.

That's why I love my iMAC. They aren't cheap, but the machines are fantastic & almost indestructible Bogie.

i burnt up my computer, no idea how, wont even start now. All it does is make a loud beep sound, hopefully i can save the harddrive with my old work softwares on it

It was like meant to be too. It literally was raining while he sang Purple Rain. I love that stuff when it works out that way.

Purple Rain is an emotional song too. First time I ever seen the movie, oh yeah I teared up watching that for the first time. He does not play it much either, also Let's Go Crazy, he cranked up his guitar for that.

I love Prince. Always have. May not be popular to admit that. But, I met him once many years ago and he's a very humble, kind person. I also think he is an incredibly talented songwriter and performer. A little odd. But, who isn't....

Happy Birthday one more time.

Oh man, I am lame lol

All I can think of right now is Toxic LOL

Oh man he does sound like he has lost his last marble. But then again whats wrong with hearing voices and having visions? j/k.....

Just another victim of society. Nothing to see here folks. Carry on. Someone else loses their mind.

Well God does talk to some people that come on TV in the wee hours of the morning...

I have not heard the name Kylie Minogue in a while. I remember a few of her songs.

Well Britney is Britney lol. I may check it out then since I still buy everything she is on even if I end up giving it to my sister.

I'm thrilled at the fact it's Giorgio. He's a legendary producer, arguably the godfather of Disco. If he produced an entire Britney album, it would end up being the best album of the decade.

that's not funny....

It is cause I knew it was going to happen and didn't pick up that wood glue over the weekend LOL.

What??? Isn't that the guy from Static X? I never really got into them but sad news.

Yeah he had a drug overdose last night.

Hey Chad what did you dress up as?

As Raj from Big Bang Theory!!! !!! Yep, I was a nerd, much like my occupation, easy to pull it off

LOL!!!!! That is so awesome, love that show. Sheldon cracks me up

Hey brother don't cut yourself short I'm an encourager I'm sure your better than you think, Sooner are later it's time to step on stage!! And blow someone away!!! Always someone better than us so you we might as well forget about that....

The economical high gain stuff actually records pretty well. I wouldn't use it on stage personally, as the tone is underwhelming at high volume, but yeah, it works well for what it is.

I haven't fooled with band stuff in such a long time. It's more of a hobby for me these days.

it's rare I play with high gain anymore, I broke this thing out to try and get a tone to play along to the Mercyful Fate LP's, and I was surprised how well it held up. I've practically got their 90's era tone from In The Shadows.
