Shoot, I'm the one who said it first! Remember, the very first paragraph of this blog bit said this:<br /><br /><i>“Sex, Tattoos & Violence R Us” = An absolutely unrelated, multitudinous conglomeration of subjects all addressed in a single blog bit and tied together by absolutely nuttin’. (A.K.A. “Hodgepodge O’Nuttin”.)</i><br /><br />I confessed my sins even before this mess got started.

When she tells me to get down on all fours and squeal like a pig, I do it! <br /><br /><i>>>...heck, I called the Suicide Hot Line and they put me on hold!</i><br /><br />You don't get no respect, do you?<br /><br /><i>>>...Did the teenage kid even know who Buck Dharma is? Or for that matter, when the "Classic Hard Rock Era" was?</i><br /><br />Yeah, I think he probably knew who Buck was. He's pretty interested in music and seems to have an uncommon interest in our generation's tunes. But I think he was more interested in disagreeing with me than he was in having a genuine discussion about it because he didn't offer up any alternatives to my Buck Dharma choice.<br /><br /><i>And what did Nappy think?</i><br /><br />Nappy only thinks what I tell him to think, and I only tell him to think what Ariel tells me to tell him to think. <br /><br /><i>>>...I think Todd Rundgren and Peter Frampton were pretty underrated as well.</i><br /><br />Mmmm...aybe. But for a couple of different reasons I wouldn't trade my Buck Dharma choice for either one of them.<br /><br />You're the Todd expert, not me, but based on everything I've heard, I would pretty much classify both Rundgren and Frampton as competent professional guitarists but not especially innovative or imaginative. And in fact, I would similarly classify the pre-"Agents Of Fortune" Buck Dharma.<br /><br />But after BOC changed their approach to music and began to streamline their tunes and concentrate less on jamming and more on tightly structured songs with harmonies and tempo changes, I think Buck moved out of the Page/Blackmore Axe School Of <i>"Pointless Notes And Lots Of 'Em"</i>, and began to view his guitar more as a tool for adding textures and colors to a song.<br /><br />Yeah, he could still whip out blazing solos with the best of them when he chose to ("I Am The Storm"), but now he was thinking more in terms of shadings and atmosphere. (I'm not quoting him or anything, just stating what my ears told me.) In a song like "Godzilla", he let his guitar become the spitting high tension wires that are pulled down by the monster, and his licks became much more imaginative ("Searching For Celine") and melodic ("Moon Crazy"). I think, more than any other guitarist from that genre, Buck began using his guitar to create appropriate moods for the song settings, rather than just approaching each song as an excuse for loud, pointless, long-winded solos. <br /><br />After all these years, I still find his later playing very interesting, whereas I listen to a Frampton or Page or Blackmore and think: <i>Eh. Just another fast guitar solo.</i><br /><br /><i>>>...Enough about the Dylan CD and The New American. It's been almost two weeks!</i><br /><br />What the hell! I've only mentioned it in two blog bits. Is there an unwritten rule in the blogosphere that one can mention a happening ONLY ONCE? If so, then - and ONLY then - I'm guilty as charged. <br /><br /><i>>>...Remind me to never give you a free Dylan CD, ya ingrate</i><br /><br />And what happened to the clear plastic protective covering you promised to give me for it? If I'm not allowed to discuss it nor protect it, remind me to never take a free Dylan CD from ya again.<br />:o)<br /><br />~ D-FensDogg<br />'Loyal American Underground'Stephen T.

Then when I get home I find it wasn't all just candy, but also popcorn balls and apples and bars of soap and cans of tuna fish. That's a lot to digest there and I don't even know where to begin.
