Rock and Roll feeds my soul. Can I cook you dinner? Can I fix your car? Tube amplifier technology and vintage ideals have taken over my cerebellum,and I like old cars and guitars. I build amps and play music because I can, and I must. If it becomes a means to an end, well sobeit. If it turns into just a job, I quit! yeah right...what the fuck happened to ethics?!
People that I can, and will learn from. People that inspire me. People that deserve admiration.

tough call, many can be so disappointing. The two biggest and bestest that come to mind are SRV and Hendrix, because they were both sober(well,mostly) when they set sail. Brian, Setzer, JJ Cale, Ry Cooder, Brian May...Mark Knopfler will always be a hero, even though he did record Walk of Life and Money For Nothin'. I wish my delete button could fix that. Whoever changes the current politics/corruption/unresolved warfare shall be placed on a shiny pedestal in my book!
