I'd like to introduce you to something I like to call: Guitar Madness

The farmers market thing I'm doing tomorrow. I don't own an acoustic with a pickup. So I'm bringing my Jazzmaster electric.

Or I can buy an entirely new acoustic guitar just for this show. Oh maybe a Fender Acoustasonic.
MADNESS

To me, this is like wrapping cable.

Either you do it correctly and the cable lasts forever, or you don't and I cringe while watching you wrap a cable around your arm, but never say a word.

I'm just trying to get you to protect your parents' gear that's connected to a $3 strip

I've seen my fair share of power strips with melted or at least discolored plastic from shorts. My point is that many parents, don't think about this stuff and for peace of mind, just swap out their old gear for new better gear that protects their stuff and reduces the likelihood of a fire.

“As any chef will tell you, our entire service economy—the restaurant business as we know it—in most American cities, would collapse overnight without Mexican workers.” #HispanicHeritageMonth

I still love Anthony Bourdain’s impassioned defense of Latino cuisine and immigrant workers: “I walked into restaurants and always, the person who had been there the longest, who took the time to show me how it was done, was always Mexican or Central American.” #HispanicHeritageMonth

“We’re all being DOGE’d,” a CBS News journalist told The Independent. “And she’s also looking out to see who will kiss up to her.”

The source pointed out that Weiss has made it clear “she wants to bring her own people in,” all while “layoffs are coming.”
