Off - Wot No Brock?!/ captured rotation

[Mary Sullivan]

since I don't play guitar very well, I guess I don't want to play a gun,
either.  That's funny about customs.  Do people give their guns names like
guitars?  Of course, aside from the fear people are experiencing, a lot of
this gun stuff seems to be a macho thing, "Mine's bigger than yours."  When
it comes down to it, whether it be sex or guns, the end result from either
is going to be the same, even a little gun can blow you into the next world.
A guitar is a better use for them, if they need to be used at all.  I do
believe a person has the right to own them, just to freak people out I
thought about going into a gun shop and demanding to buy 1 because it's my
constitutional right.  I guess I'm not quite as young and crazy as I could
get, back a few years ago.  I actually would have done it, especially if I
was challenged.  I feel like I've aged about 20 years within the past few
months, I guess it's all relative.

while myy gun gently weeps,

Actually, there was a luthier here in Colombia who took some of the
weapons from decommissioned paramilitary groups and turned them into
guitars as a sort of symbolic "swords into ploughshares" thing.  A
number of big-name musicians here keenly took them up, famously
Colombian metalhead-turned-poprock-icon Juanes (who even took one on
his US tour, and was amazed that it somehow breezed through customs
with barely a second look while the utterly normal amplifiers were
scrutinized in considerable detail).

Maybe I can get one of those -- there oughta be enough decommissioned
weapons to go around! ;)

Cheers,
Carl
