She accepted her people for who they were... and visa versa!

As a kid I remember seeing graffiti on a bus stop that read:
“Who the F@[¥ is Mott the Hoople?”
I thought it was a funny phrase. And I had no idea. Turns out they were pretty cool:

Roth's Beatnik Bandit was always my favorite. I remember building that model as a kid (and then a week later blowing it up with a fire cracker).

Pick? Rounds?did four top 40 45s last night and never swapped bass...about 1/3 fingers and 2/3 pick using a Dunlop .73 nylon.....always amazes me the variety of attack tones by just playing with the attack angle of the pick on the rounds...

Same here. I don’t need to change basses. I have done a couple of cover band gigs with my VP and found it’s really versatile.

You mean Bohemian Crapsody? What upset me the most about that movie was that they somewhat put Freddie’s dirty laundry out there but portrayed all the other band members like angels in comparison.Unlike 'Bohemian Rhapsody', the usual feel good Hollywood tripe.
Other than being on the wrong side of the stage? Naaaaaaaaaahhhhhh.Ya think the fella on the right with the white Bird and big boots was an influence on me?![]()
I read The Dirt when it came out and just watched the flick. From what I remember they did a decent job but if you are a reader I HIGHLY recommend the book. It is a super fast read and lots of fun.
