stoner/doom bassist thread part 2: suspicious smoke

Other than some high winds and lots of rain, no real issues here. Don't think any trees even fell over. It was slightly worse for my friends east across the bay but they all seem fine as well.

At some point I think we had 60+ mph winds but I'm thankful we didn't get hit nearly as hard as some of the other areas.

Mass seems to be ok. Lots of downed trees and power outages, but I still have it (and we lose it randomly all the time). Since most of us slept through the worst of it, many seem to think it was no big deal at all.

Glad others are ok too!

At the risk of adding politics... he's become such an insane caricature of himself. About 10-12 years ago I'd listen to his radio show and he was... completely different, to put it lightly. He was more of a "common sense" guy. Conservative to be sure, but always tried to argue from a "let's think this through" perspective. Due to work schedule I stopped listening, then caught him on Fox News when he got there several year later. I was aghast. What the hell happened? Where did that rational, thinking man's conservative go? Who was this bloviating, bombastic, loudmouth shrieker? He's obviously made more money with this idea, which leads to...

he is such an idiot.
I don't think he is at all. Sure, what he says is often idiotic to most of us, but considering what he was and what he is, I think he's a marketing genius. He found himself a niche and has made millions off it. That's not idiocy.


That said, I still think the views he espouses are insane. ;)
 
Yeah, not a literal idiot. He knows how to spin it with the best of them. What I should have said was what a moronic statement. What if there had been mass fatalities? Still a blessing from your god, Mr. Beck?

Anyways, I have been so into the stoner side of things lately and practice was cancelled today. I am so ready to get these songs down. I got to figure out what's up with this guitar situation.
