So sorry to hear that Bob.
Cash did about everything. Uppers in the morning to get going and downers in the night slow down. Fortunately his bouts with all that were mostly over later in like. Mostly.
So true. I like that the songs made sense. To didn't have to know the inside, inside back story for it to mean something--or acid. Funny lines and also very serious material as well. As Ed King said many times Ronnie was amazing at that. Never sat down to write words. They played music and he just started singing. Amazing.

I read a biography about him a few years ago, I think he did have intermittent problems even later on, it's been a while though.
He definitely did. But I don't think it was anything like it was earlier in his life. I gather that from his sister who wrote an article about about him not long ago. It was described along the lines of he was clean and sober but struggled at times but that seems to mostly have been in the past. Her take anyway. She had her struggles as well. Didn't go into what he was involved with as I recall. If I find that article I'll PM.
Nice dress! Are you taking it out tonight?Purple thingie, a new dress and pointy heels = Happy Queen

~$20 shipping?!
......of course I had to bid on it......
Oh, yeah! Looks like all it needs is a power cord. Other than that it looked really good. Had all the knobs and sliders--I think. Which isn't always the case. I even lost one of the sliders on mine.~$20 shipping?!

Well, there is that Eric guy too…Hendrix and Jeff Beck - everyone else got in line behind them.
Yep. And don’t forget the Plain Jane Kasino siblings. Pretty much all many of us could afford for a quality amp.I played through one of those years ago, when I started on bass and was learning a lot about amp gear. I was a hired gun for a one-off project and they supplied rehearsal space and amps. When I was shown the amp I was to plug into (a black Kustom), I remember thinking I'm supposed to play through this leather sofa with speakers ? Seriously ?. I changed my mind rapidly, when dialing a sound was real easy and it sounded so good with the band. Only a couple of years later did I really understood what I played into. Forever learning.
But the stories behind it are legend. Go down a Minutemen rabbit hole and you’ll understand. Watt is the man! Here he is with a few buddies:
Kinda like "Uneasy Rider"-Charlie Daniels.
The earliest ones had the silver striped grill cloth. Later didn't.
My Kasino 200 2x15 cab took two people to load/unload. I wish I still had that rig.Due to advancing age, I've gone with all lightweight gear(Rumble amp, JBL Eon PA) these days. Especially because all our gigs are get there ~1 hour before, set up, play, pack up, and beat feet. But a few years ago, I looked longingly at a Gold Sparkle Kustom head/cab at a shop in Orlando.
