“I bid 5 bucks”
Dude! The money is going to baby killers! I would not bid 1 wooden nickel.
At least the hollow guitar with a hole can resonate beautiful sounds unlike the hollow ‘artists’ with the gaping holes in their souls.
What
the
HELL
is
that
?
Is that Nancy Sinatra these days?
I saw Gary Clark Jr. on the list. Fantastic guitarist, though I don't have any of his music on my Ipod. I'm kind of stuck in the 70s and 80s in that regard. I'm still kicking myself for missing Brian Ferry's recent show in Dallas. I played the heck out of Roxy Music my last two years in Germany.
I have a bootleg copy of a cassette of a televised concert in Germany circa '78/'79. A friend of mine was a musician and had some nice recording equipment. The concert had Roxy Music, Dire Straits, and Talking Heads. I really need to locate that cassette...it's in the garage with about a dozen boxes of cassettes that I personally mixed while in Germany.
That demonic girl with microphone is Lady Gaga.
May God grant her the graces of repentance and conversion. She’s on a bad road that will end worse.
Time was that Tom Petty was sold by the suits as ‘new wave’ and Bruce Springsteen as ‘punk’. They still struggle to seem relevant 40 years later.
Big deal.... I wouldn’t give 1 cent for it.
100 artists that support eliminating the black race and the disabled, which is what PP was created for.
I’d sure hope not the money goes to baby killers.
Is there more than one Nancy Sinatra?
This guitar will be on eBay next month selling for $50.
If you could buy more than one ticket, I would buy $500 worth. If won, I'd then notify the national/local news that I will burn it within public view on private property on date to be given within just an hour notice. That's after talking with the local Fire Marshall. Just think of all the heads exploding! Haha.
I recognize about six of these names.
This guitar is and accursed thing. How many human beings will be scissored in the name of this guitar? And in the name of the damned who signed it?
A lot of them don’t even play guitar!
Well, I missed Gary Clark. I know who he is and that he has a signature Epiphone Casino that I might add to my collection if I find one cheap enough. On the other hand, his signature model comes in a blue and, since I hate blue guitars, a regular Casino (preferably an older one made in the Peerless factory in the Republic of Korea rather than in Red China) outfitted with Gibson USA P-90’s would substitute nicely.
You mean shiny happy.
Have to wonder how many people even knew just what they were signing.
I’ve collected multiple signers on guitar pick guards for my own personal collection. Other times I’ve seen venues do it for future charity auctions.
