Les Claypool. Les Dawson. Les Brown. Les Costello. Les Izmore. Les Bian. Les Getouttahere.

Well damn, there you go bursting my bubble. I was actually thinking more along the lines of the old White Falcons, but I guess they probably all would have the same tuning issues, what with the Bigsby and all.

I do admittedly have less total enjoyment for the Ali-period Coltrane recordings, but that's as much to do with Coltrane himself as Ali or anything else. Live in Japan was especially hard for me, since Coltrane and Sanders basically scream with their saxes for like an hour at a time.

Me, I want the news releases of my death to be accompanied by pictures of me having a threesome with two hot younger alternababes.

Was that some herky-jerky sex you had there?

In French, his name means "The Roy".

I was alive during the Devonian Period. It wasn't "unspoiled". It was TOTALLY spoiled by all those uppity tetrapods and smelly trilobites!

Oh no! The rock is meltingggggggg!

I'm blind, deaf, functionally illiterate, and living under a rock on the planet Mercury and I knew this movie would suck.

I love it when Horsefellow posts. It's just a living embodiment of "WTF?!"

Want to help the Earth?
Have fewer babies.

Cruisin' USA? Hell no. I learned how to drive on Pole Position II at the arcade. I still change lanes more often than any ten other drivers on the road.

No kidding! Probably "Om" is the only album scarier. But "Meditations" has the sound of Elvin Jones AND Rashied Ali going nuts in tandem. That's some heavy shit.

I love his own albums from the 70s. The one he did with Earl Cross on trumpet, and then the one he did with James Blood Ulmer… both amazing albums, full of grit.

Yeah, but imagine the difficulty he'll encounter when he sits there, staring at guitar sheet music or tablature, unable to understand why it doesn't move with the music.

Damn straight, Kiko. Plus, I just ate a rhinoceros.

Hell yeah
Good to see the man getting his props. One of the greats, and still one of the greats decades on.

Try Advil Liqui-gels. They really stop pain dead, like a big brick wall across a major interstate.

No, but a Gretsch is a damn fine guitar. I'm envious. I've always wanted one of those semi-hollow-body Gretschs with the Bigsby bar.

And I need to find a lady who can sport a topknot like that!
