Every time I try to convince myself that I think and feel like everyone else, I realize I don't. That's not necessarily a bad thing because I'd rather lead the way than be a follower.
Here is a topic guaranteed to be controversial and lively ... who is the greatest guitarist of the past 100 years? The system here only allows me to post 19 names - I could have posted 200 greats, easily.
