Guitars, Tahoes, & fast talking women
Hey Now,
I was driving down the road the other Saturday on the way home from Guitar Center. I was headed down Westheimer and listening to some music and I head a honk. After that I looked around and woman was driving a late model suburban and she was waving at me to roll my window down.
She was a fairly attractive looking lady and she kept driving along side motioning at me, So I rolled down the window and she hollered out to me. She told me she needed help and asked me if I could help her.
She then told me that she needed some gasoline and wanted me to "loan" her the money. I told her I was currenlty all out of money. She then suggested that we could use my credit card and she would pay me back later. I advised her that I didn't have a credit card that I could help her with. She really put the close on me and I assumed that she had done this before.
After I told her no, She sped up a little and I was very curious to see if she was going to go right back to work. I kind of held back but I kept pace with her vehicle and it looked like she was pulling up to the next prospect and all of the sudden the light turne yellow and I got stuck.
As I drove down westhimer I was looking at each of the gas stations and conveinience stores to see if she found anybody to filler up but that is the end of that story.
One other thing that was on my mind is the Fender "Relic" Stratocaster Electric Guitar. It is basically a fender custom shop re-issue that has been "aged" to look vintage. They even have a cigarette burn in the headstock.
This is America and people are free to do as they please but I can't approve of the idea of building a guitar and then actually burning it with a cigarette or scuffing it up on purpose. It just seems like a poser type of idea and I can't bring myself to vote for it.
