Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics?

Agear wrote,

"Burroughs was hardly a font of wisdom with his penchant for heroin and young boys."

then Agear defended that statement with,

"It was not a reference to his writing but rather his life and how he lived. Two different things grasshopper. What literature did you read beyond english composition 101 in E-school?

The discussion in which the Ginsberg Burroughs anecdote appeared was about knowledge not lifestyle. To whit,

"Burroughs, older and wiser, simply replied that he didn’t say anything because "you can’t tell anybody anything they don’t already know." That’s putting it rather in the extreme, but it’s another way of saying that some people just don’t get it and never will."

The more I think about it the Burroughs quote could apply to you. 😛

I felt a certain kinship with Ralph and Michael Green, we three the only longhairs at CES in the 90's. I cut off my mop in 2003 when Pearl Harbor (whose band I had just joined) asked me if I would not mind doing. She was a London-type Punk/Rockabilly singer (three albums on WB, Stiff in the UK), and didn't cotton to anything remotely hippie-ish. She had been married to Clash bassist Paul Simonon, and liked her band to look "manly"---50's greaser style. I actually love that look, and gladly acquiesced. But I'm back to the biker look, like Steve Earle in his hard-rockin' period. I prefer to think of it as biker, 'cause I never liked the Hippie style. Love beads, bell-bottoms, and a headband? Yuch!
