To be clear this was planned prior to the shit storm. However, the ball is now in GCs court

Haven't heard from P!nk in a while, whats going on there?

More recently, I have read that she wasn't on a side of Macklemore in this situation.

Fuck Guitar Center and their overpriced instruments.

Whenever I've purchased a guitar from an actual store, it was usually a small local shop.

Same. I bought one guitar from Guitar Center ever because I couldn't find it anywhere else. I've always regretted that.

I wouldn't beat yourself too much over one guitar man.

Now I'm curious. What was it?

Oh, it wasn't anything special, a 3/4 scale Squire p-base for my 12 year old daughter. I paid about twice what I later found I could have gotten it for online.

Oh, lol. I thought you meant something rare. Like a cool Parker or something.

Throwing more money at this won’t save his career or the tour. Sometimes you have to eat the losses and then evaluate how you got where you are today.

I'm hoping the winner immediately quits.

on one hand I'd love if GWAR or The Locust won on the other hand I know they'd say fuck that.
