It’s rattier and a lot more unraveled than any of ‘em ever, and it sounds like a million bucks. You know how those old fabric-covered tweed Fender amps get all ratty at the edges and unraveled at the corners and all tattered and beat-to-shit from roadwork and life? Well, this one’s worse. Like Stephen Still’s tweed Fender Bassman amp, which he’s had for 30 years, when it already had 40 years of mileage. In the immortal words of Ray Wylie Hubbard, some things are just cooler’n hell - regardless of who used to play ‘em once upon a time, or who currently owns ‘em. “Searching for Jack Kerouac and Andy Kaufman…missing Tom Petty and Kobe…but this old river keeps on rolling though…the streams thin out and runs to dry…but the Magic forever remains.” Trophies Mounted On The Wall Pinned like butterflies under glass - Ladies and Gentlemen, the Jim Irsay Collection! (Photo by Sean Reiter) (You know how cocker spaniels are, right?) All except for the part at the very end that Kerouac’s friend’s cocker spaniel chewed off and swallowed. Since the guy already had guitars from John, Paul, and George, he couldn’t help himself: He contacted the Associated Press, and told them, “Finally, after 45 years, the Beatles are together.” And you’ve heard about Jack Kerouac’s On the Road, right? Kerouac blazing away, typing it single-space on a single 120-foot-long roll of paper, bashing it out on benzedrine, bebop and brilliance for three single-minded sleep-free weeks without ever having to yank out a single typed page or feed fresh pages in - well, after coughing up $2.43 million, the guy with the great collection owns that original scroll too. A major bargain, and a whole lot less than someone else paid for the pair of wooden British toilet-chain balls that dangled between Mick Fleetwood’s lanky legs on the cover of Rumours (you’ve seen that cover, right?) What’s more, the guy’s got a bass drum-head with “The Beatles” logo from back when they played The Ed Sullivan Show, and then a Ludwig drum set from Ringo that it pretty much fits. Like after Christine McVie passed away, he honored her death by scooping up her former husband John McVie’s bass, the exact same one used on Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours (you’ve heard of that, right? Sold almost as much as Dark Side of the Moon) snapping it up for a piddling $100 grand. This guy’s really great collection isn’t only just really great guitars. Only not just any Fender Mustang, but one that Kurt Cobain flung around in the artificial video fog of “Smells Like Teen Spirit.” That one cost $4.5 million, which now is not the most ever paid for a guitar, or even the most ever paid for one of Kurt Cobain’s guitars, but is most definitely the most ever paid for a Fender Mustang. Until the guy with the great collection paid even more for a Fender Mustang. At 3.9 million bucks, it was, if only for a brief couple of years, the most expensive guitar ever. The guy’s got the actual black Stratocaster - a real one - that David Gilmour played on Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall. It’s gnarly, but only in the pathetic sense.īecause this guy, the guy with a really great collection, he actually owns one of Jerry Garcia’s guitars, “Tiger,” the one from the ‘80s with Jerry’s custom-built secret stash compartment. Sorry, but nobody really cares why you’re still hanging on to that pinewood derby pseudo-Stratocaster you hacked out with a jig-saw for a C-minus back in high school wood-shop. He had a bunch of really, really great old stuff - not like that crap in your collection, all that stuff you keep out in the garage, those cardboard boxes packed solid with your formerly impressive accumulation of CDs. Neostream claims that their designs were meant to be based more on the Kakamora characters from Disney’s Moana.Once upon a time, there was a guy who had a really great collection. The developers have stated that their ” design intention was to create characters who are protectors/guardians of a particular mystic region in the world of Little Devil Inside.” The developers also stated that they had not used any Afro-American or any various African ethnic groups as a reference for their designs. The developers behind the game Neostream responded to this issue on Facebook stating that they had not intended to promote any such racist stereotypes and that they were unaware of the connotations of their design. The tribal design of one of the enemies shown in the trailer has received criticism for its alleged usage of stereotypical and racist depictions for the “tribal” character. Shortly after the trailer was revealed though, it received some controversy for one specific aspect. Last week, gamers were shown a spectacular array of games coming to Sony’s next-generation console at the PlayStation 5 reveal event, one of which was the action-adventure role-playing game Little Devil Inside.
