grampa Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 I love guitars as much as anyone in this forum but I had the chance to see the Van Gogh collection in '72 or so and I would have to say seeing them in person is indescribable. Mind blowing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jefleppard Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 it's just fine to appreciate more than one form of art. you're not being disloyal to st. les paul if you do. BTW, have you ever seen gustav courbet's "origin of the world (l'origine du monde)"? (google it, i dare you) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G u e s t Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 . . A fine and beautiful picture - it seperates the men from the boys. The boys snigger and look uncomfortable and make lewd comments. The men just say "Nice.....", because they KNOW what's there..... . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thermionik Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 . DAS44 - with reference to the "unknown" in your sig. Something I have noticed on here over the years..... Younger Americans do not seem aware of their own great literary heritage. A person without a sense of humor is like a wagon without springs, jolted by every pebble in the road. Henry Ward Beecher He also said:- Love is the river of life in the world. and Discover what you are. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thermionik Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 . . You're welcome DAS44. The American literary heritage and the wealth of wisdom and knowledge spoken and written by American authors, poets, pundits and raconteurs is something to be proud of. Take Mark Twain (somebody ought to.....) why, he said this about knowledge..... All schools, all colleges, have two great functions: to confer, and to conceal, valuable knowledge. The theological knowledge which they conceal cannot justly be regarded as less valuable than that which they reveal. That is, when a man is buying a basket of strawberries it can profit him to know that the bottom half of it is rotten. For all the talk you hear about knowledge being such a wonderful thing, instinct is worth forty of it for real unerringness. We have not the reverent feeling for the rainbow that the savage has, because we know how it is made. We have lost as much as we gained by prying into that matter. .
