I’m always surprised at the number of bitter bragging know-it-alls here on FR. They spend a lot of time bragging about their vast knowledge and expertise, but they come off as whiney losers. They remind me of the most obnoxious guy I ever met. He knew everything about everything, and naturally was a hard-core liberal. He bragged about having more education than a doctor, but he didn’t have a BA. He had some low-level government job, naturally, and a dumb liberal wife. Eventually, he got arrested on a number of charges including assault, hit and run, leaving the scene, DUI, open container, and littering (when the cops caught him, he threw a bunch of beer bottles out the window). He lost his job, his wife threw him out, his daughter went to jail for drugs, his son moved to Canada, and he left town. That’s one of my favorite stories, and I remember it every time I meet a blowhard on FR.
But... could he play the blues?
