It's my fault Jerry Falwell died today!
I didn't mean to do it, it was just one of those things!
I had some free time today, and the weather was gorgeous!
I took my guitar into Manhattan and did a little busking.
I found a nice little spot on 53rd street, around the corner from 5th avenue.
I had my back to the Episcopalian church, and was right across the street from the building at 666 5th ave.
It was late lunch time.
So I'm standing there with my ass butted up against the church, looking at 666.
And I started playing "Sympathy for the Devil."
That's when it happened, man.
I'm standing there playing and laughing at how fucking clever I am, and when I finish the song, I said to myself, "Something REALLY weird just happened somewhere!"
Then I walked around for little while, had a bite to eat and headed back home.
When I got home, I went online, and what was the first thing I saw?
My little joke caused a heart attack!

Tomorrow is supposed to be nice also...

13. Thanks! I'm not going to pretend that I can walk on water like a few of
these posters would like everyone to believe. In fact, I'm more the type who would buy a ticket to watch them take their stroll across the water.

7. Thanks for the tip!
I'll try to do Robertson tomorrow, and Dobson on Thursday, but I don't think it works that way.
Kinda like lighting up a cigarette to MAKE the bus show up.
It only shows up when you think you have enough time to smoke the whole thing...

And I'd mail you a real dollar if'n I could.

6. I started a joke....
I started a joke, which started the whole world crying,
but I didn't see that the joke was on me, oh no.

I started to cry, which started the whole world laughing,
oh, if I'd only seen that the joke was on me.

I looked at the skies, running my hands over my eyes,
and I fell out of bed, hurting my head from things that I'd said.

Til I finally died, which started the whole world living,
oh, if I'd only seen that the joke was on me.

I looked at the skies, running my hands over my eyes,
and I fell out of bed, hurting my head from things that I'd said.

'Til I finally died, which started the whole world living,
oh, if I'd only seen that the joke was one me.

9. What gauge guitar picks do you use?
I use medium to heavy picks, but my family kept buying me thin gauge picks for years. I have tons of them. Need some? I want to make sure you have a steady supply. :evilgrin:

15. Appreciate it!
Of course, I use mediums and heavys too, depending on which guitar I'm playing.
The thins never really seemed to want to work right.
I keep dropping them.
Thanks though!
