Call me nutz, but I'll take glory over obscurity, though I'm sure Dave gets all warm and fuzzy whenever someone mentions his name when the Double Rhoads is brought up.
It's nice to know there are people willing to defend your contribution to the world and not leave you hanging out in the cold. Obscurity is bad enough, but being left out in the cold all alone adds insult to injury.I want to depart this world the same way I arrived; screaming and covered in someone else's blood
The most human thing we can do is comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable.

Er. Sure. My 89 KV does not have a recessed trem. Anything which is a "reissue" or aniversary addition of anything from the 80s will usually have a non-recessed trem."I''ll say what I'm gonna say, cuz I'm going to Hell anyway!"
