Up to today i didnt know him, less that he was a comedian and hosted the last 5 years of this event (not a big fan of movies or these type of events). Knowing this now, i can see and suspect that this was just the guy following a script, maybe they just want to spice things up, who knows. He is just cashing in. I mean i never have expected anything real or true to come from Hollywood, they are just "entertainment", i certainly know and get what you say that its an industry that has and have abused women, unfortunately this is not the only place/institution/etc where this happens to us women, we have to deal with it on a daily basis. And kidblast is right about this polarization they are doing, i think they are realizing ppl are fed up (see all the riots in all parts of the world) they know better to keep us divided than united.
Ricky is the guy that said it and tried to make comedy out of a bad situation.
I would like to believe that wasn't scripted.... But you could be right.

I’ve always wondered what those guitars would sound like through a Mesa Boogie MarkIV cranked 😊

yea. They are all guilty of the same conduct. But they all like to spew their opinions, they just create division among people like us. It's "us" verses "them" and it's gotten so much worse over the last 3 years.
Really?? In my 56 years of life nothing has changed and has always been there. And I think social media has put it out there with its pants down for all to see.Such a bummer that we missed the opportunity to use social media as a portal to bridge our differences as earthlings..... maybe some day😊

That’s a really nice player.... If you plan to sell I see them go from $1200 to $1600 in good to excellent condition.
Also my condolences to you and your family for the loss of your brother.

Wow, guy was very direct but most of the stuff he said are the ugly truth..
really???So it took this fellow 5 years of hosting this event to come to this realization??? Seems pretty disingenuous to me. Where was he three years ago??? Oh I know he was cashing those big checks the industry was paying him...... yes that same industry that he’s been a part of and accepting big paychecks from the last 6 years.
I would had respected him more if he had said.....
“I’ve been part of this machine that has marginalized and abused woman for years and I have allowed myself to become a candidate for the same mediocrity that has become an awful norm in this industry, so with that I will donate all the money I have received from this industry for abused women.”

To me marshmallows have a nuclear aftertaste..... When we were kids we would have slingshot marshmallow fights ..... Our sisters would cry because they were supposed to be for their Girl Scout cook-outs

Just now, Sgt. Pepper said:
I was 4 when they broke up so I did not get to hear any of their yapping. I just listen to them. Love their music but none of them were nice people. Paul maybe the nicest of the bunch, but they all did bad stuff to each other and cheated and other stuff. I don't think they are angels, just people who made music I like.
The Beatles were my music teachers, as I’m sure some of these great actors are teachers for up and coming actors. I’m not ashamed to say I looked up to them in my youth or in my old age, despite their beliefs or miscues.... Nobody is perfect.I’m sure they all worked their butts off to get where they are today.... Like them or not, I’m sure a magic Jeanie just didn’t show up to them in the middle of the night and gave them the ability to be world class entertainers overnight..... and the same for this Ricky character despite his misplaced self absorbing monologue.

I quit paying attention to anything the Hollyweird types had to say a long time ago. They’re nothing but a bunch of halfwits who’s claim to fame is earning a living to pretend to be people they’re not. They ride around in limousines and fly around in private jets with their entourage of sycophants, at the same time lecturing the “unwashed masses” on what they should think and how they should live. Nothing but noise.Beatles did the same thing

Actors, musicians, politicians and activists with a big enough stage to pontificate will voice their views in hopes of receiving some support whether it is blind or going in with eyes wide open.
My thing is where was this Ricky character a month ago.???? He could have said the same thing but didn’t, which makes me question his sincerity. I’m sure that $1,000,000 check for hosting the show was the main factor in him not saying anything prior.
High profile musicians and actors are pretty much cut out of the same cookie cutter. I enjoy them for their talent and hard work, but I don’t focus on their personal beliefs.

We all live totally different lives than each other...... Imagine what a homeless person might think of me purchasing a $1600 guitar, while he or she is sleeping outside in the cold.
i just think this Ricky individual is no better than who he ridicules.... As I’m sure there are plenty telling him “how great he is all day long.”

I’ve seen this as well.... I just hit it then exit and hit it again and the list appears

To me it has that Barry Goudreau Boston tone.... which is an SG type tone

Doesn’t sound like a strat to me.... But great playing and a nice looking axe.

He wasn’t funny to me..... it more sounded like a drunk windbag at a local watering hole.... So maybe in that setting it might have been...... well cute....
-
I dunno......
To me if one feels they have to be vulgar and graceless to be funny, then it’s not..... But to each their own.

Hoped y’all had a great holiday season and now that it’s all but over I thought I should treat myself to another Les Paul... and in this case a 2009 Traditional.
It comes loaded with Sigil Chicago 68 Set and of course I’ll change out the bridge to a Faber ABR and an aluminum tailpiece.
Funny thin is this guitar has been sold a few times on Reverb at different points during its life... so see the images.... I hope to have it in my hands by Thursday.
