Rickenbackers... more distortion... suffering through a spell of unrequited love ( I don't hate it because I am fucking EXCELLENT at it)... fireworks...THINGS I DON'T LOVE: seeing terrible bands... zealots... going through phases of bankruptcy (financially/morally/creatively)... intolerance...endlessly breaking strings... endlessly breaking hearts
