Today's Cartoon (and Photo) Chuckles
The Plant and Page one absolutely kills me. 😎
A droll new Weekend Essay Question on the morrow, promise.
i like them all - the first one causes me to wonder - do guitar stores still discourage "stairway to heaven" - or is there something more contemporary now
the 24 hour blues cycle one reminds me of going to see martin mull and his fabulous furniture - approximately "i woke up late this morning, and both my cars were gone [repeat] - i felt so lowdown, so disgusted, i threw my drink across the lawn"

Mull was probably the funniest act I've ever seen in a club. I particularly enjoyed when he played slide guitar with a vibrator(!).

ReplyDeleteI laughed out loud at the Page & Plant! The rest are very funny too!
