So, I have matched each fifty guitarists with fifty objects in my apartment. This took awhile, but when I finished I knew them all because each was associated with an object which fell in an order that I mapped throughout five rooms. It was quite a bit easier than I thought it would be.
So... Here they are FROM MEMORY.

ReplyDeleteIn February 2007, Gossard and McCready were included together by Rolling Stone in its list of "The Top 20 New Guitar Gods" under the title of "four-armed monster."
Way to go, RS.
