		<description><![CDATA[While watching The Colbert Report, I was struck by Stephen's proposal that poor people should become the pets of rich people. One solution to many of our current economic woes, perhaps? But before readers run off to buy that diamond collar, I think I can tweak this plan and help the growing "Band Bubble" find a way to grow without bursting.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=tilitsmears.wordpress.com&amp;blog=7195178&amp;post=923&amp;subd=tilitsmears&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The SG in the window was hanging slightly askew. From my perspective, I could see there was something odd about this Gibson solid body. Something about the back of the guitar was a little off. It wasn't reflecting the light from the window in the expected way. So I walked over to the guitar and asked the fellow at the counter if I could look at it. He eyeballed me for a few seconds and without a word, pulled it down and handed it over to me.

The back of that guitar still makes me smile over forty years later. It turned out, the guitar had strange reflective properties because there was a custom painting on its backside. A painting of a mushroom cloud with enough paint piled on to curtail any light reflection. It turned out, it was an SG formerly owned by a guitarist from Atomic Rooster...<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=tilitsmears.wordpress.com&amp;blog=7195178&amp;post=901&amp;subd=tilitsmears&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you take three, Indiana-bred, childhood friends and call them Peter Gunn (why not, they did!) and filter this through 2/3 of the post-punk trio, The Others, and finally, add another friend and flavor by incorporating the studio project that was King Of Sighs, you get the no-frills, improvised experiment that was Carpmen. Five guys show up. A notebook or five might see the light of day. Ideas were exchanged. This is the results.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=tilitsmears.wordpress.com&amp;blog=7195178&amp;post=893&amp;subd=tilitsmears&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
