Hey, you're right. I will need to correct that. I'm open to correction as long as you don't criticize my Oxford commas!

Jeez! My eyes! You'd think he would insist they update it to have '47' on the headstock instead of '45'.

I believe this is John Fogerty's 325. Actually, it is a Rickenbacker Rose-Morris 1996 There were a number of model produced for the UK dealer that were given different model names and f-hole style sound holes instead of the regular scimitar shaped holes. He replaced the bridge PU too.

Disaster is rarely as pervasive as it seems from recorded accounts. The fact of being on the record makes it appear continuous and ubiquitous whereas it is more likely to have been sporadic both in time and place. Besides, persistence of the normal is usually greater than the effect of the disturbance, as we know from our own times. After absorbing the news of today, one expects to face a world consisting entirely of strikes, crimes, power failures, broken water mains, stalled trains, school shutdowns, muggers, drug addicts, neo-Nazis, and rapists. The fact is that one can come home in the evening—on a lucky day—without having encountered more than one or two of these phenomena. This has led me to formulate Tuchman's Law, as follows: "The fact of being reported multiplies the apparent extent of any deplorable development by five- to tenfold" (or any figure the reader would care to supply)

Hello friends. If you are feeling great anxiety over recent developments, Please consider these words from historian Barbara Tuchman from the introduction of "A Distant Mirror" (1978)
It was about France in the 14th century, but maybe this applies still.

Yep. Me too. To be fair, it started becoming pretty unusable before we even got to the year 2000. Who the heck are they advertising to?
