I believe that a solid foundation in math and science are critical for a child to become a successful adult. But I think the arts are a worthy pursuit for personal fulfillment.

I do have a bias.

Totally agree. Unfortunately math and sciences will not be taken seriously by students until engineering jobs start paying like MDs or lawyers. The study of these subjects is too challenging for the rewards. It's also very relative. In Europe, an engineer makes what a doctor or lawyer makes. H1B visas are providing the tech force we need at a fraction of the pay. Big problem in Silicon Valley...

Depends on the level of seriousness.

They have bridge/p u covers for any brand of 5 string?. Ive watched for them but never seen any.

Clever people can cut 2 covers and join 2 of the the offcuts to create one wider cover.

I’m not clever.

Great idea! Where do I find Chrome duct tape?

 

[Chucky Stiletti]

Ah yes but the few that excel in the arts will make money we will never be able to fathom doing what they love. I get your take on it though, I agree there too.

Seems to me like these days you don't have to excel in the arts to make obscene $$$

OT that Rugby League Test Match is Denver this weekend I mentioned the other day is seemingly now going to be on tv ‘over there’.

Forgive the hyperbole of the headline

NRL makes US inroads with 60 million household TV deal for Denver Test

All well and good to assume that a grounding in maths and science are what makes a successful adult, I agree they are useful skills to have but they just aren't for everyone. Me for example, even though I gained a bachelors degree in computer science and a masters degree in Astrophysics later in life (both heavily maths and science orientated) most of my life has been more associated with the arts. I would describe myself as being artistic rather than academic, as the person I am today I would say that art has had a greater part to play in who I am today than anything academic. Each child is different, some are artistic, some are academic, some are geniuses and some are plain useless. Each one of them should be allowed to follow the path that best suits them and the only way to let them find that path is to expose them to a wide range of options and see if and where they show an interest or excel

Your right, there are many making a mockery of the arts and living like world champions.

too modest!. I fabricated the bridge pickup on my Thunderbacker and I repurposed it as a housing for my EB3 pickup on my acoustic. I then fabricated a base for a Fender pickup cover for my Thunderbackers replacement. You can do it damn it!

I like the song ok, (and have followed PIL over the years) but what do a bunch of aged UK 'punks' really know about about Seattle? (and granted I've never been there) I looked at the lyrics...they don't offer much insight.

I figured... it's funny though, like someone from Seattle calling a song "Blackpool", or "Liverpool"

It's just a song

Just like this little .... sang

As I sit gazing into the computer screen after coming away with some newly created riffs remarkably reminiscent of a psychiatrists visit I ask myself........What is fantastic right now"?. How did I arrive at this conjecture?. .......Who the fk even says that?........Conjecture!.
