thanks for the belly laugh!
I was eating out tonight, and there was some U2 rip-off band being played...loud and pseudo-artsy. It was pitiful, musically; they were trying to be complicated and edgy and artsy all at once.
Listening to the juvenile accoustic guitar riffs (and totally ignoring the deep lyrics), I thought of "Tommy," and the intro to Pinball Wizard. Now that was an accoustic guitar riff. Nobody works like that anymore.
