I've only seen half the telecast... it was shown in the middle of the night, so I taped it. The part of the race I've seen, and all the reports, were excellent. This one race should have put the haters back in their box... there was plenty of racing, plenty of action, and all it needed was someone to be excluded and have an appeal pending for the final outcome and it would be exactly like the F1 of old Only better!

Actually, given that Dan Ricciardo's appeal for 2nd place from Melbourne is still outstanding, I think we can even take that.

My favorite youtube comment:

To be fair to the telecaster, Bay's not much better when he does have a script to work with.

Somewhere in Topeka, KS, a young toddler with unknown, preeminent psychic abilities freezes Roker during a live telecast after inadvertently looking into TV and thinking: "Staring contest, ready, go!"

Hollow body Telecaster? Why not.

I'll *promote simply because I've never seen a Telecaster like that before today.

1. Journey - Good Morning Girl

2. The Cure - Disintegration
Stopped to listen to this one all the way through, even though I usually just write down the track name and skip on with these things.

3. Talking Heads - Girls Want to Be with the Girls
Haha, had to listen to this one too.

4. the pillows - Beehive
Live version ripped from the bonus DVD of their latest live concert release, Blue Song With Blue Poppies. They actually stopped in the middle of the song because Sawao forgot the lyrics, then started fresh and rocked it really hard. Wish I could have seen this show.

5. ELLEGARDEN - Surfrider Association
Opening track from BRING YOUR OWN BOARD!! Love these guys. They sound like typical pop punk at a quick listen sometimes, but if you actually give a whole album a chance, you realize that they're fantastic musicians and a huge cut above the drudge that fills up their genre.

6. Pavement - Elevate Me Later
I actually haven't ever paid attention to this track before, but I really love the intro.

7. Ling Tosite Sigure - 鮮やかな殺人 (The Vivid Murderer)
Self-produced demo take, hell fucking yes. Raging, screeching Telecaster guitar solo, rumbling bass lines, and a huge range of dynamics.

8. ART-SCHOOL - LOST IN THE AIR (Tony Doogan mix)
Fan-fucking-tastic song. This mix has more presence to the bass guitar than the original, which creates for a much more atmospheric song. I like very much.

9. GING NANG BOYZ - 駆け抜けて性春 (The Youth Running Past)
God I love this song. Crazy but catchy Japanese punk rock. They record all of their instruments at one go in the studio rather than layering it instrument by instrument, giving a raw, live sound to all their recordings. I wish all rock musicians did this.

10. People in the Box - Paper Trip
Great song, off my favorite album by them.

There are so many things right with this video:

Harmonies, telecaster, energetic drumming...upvote.

TELECASTERS ARE SEXY.

The key portion of the program here and THE REASON he cant wear it in school is because of the idea of it "interrupting the learning process" as they said in the telecast.

It used to be that in school you were a person first and student second, but some court cases and some school shootings have changed all that. They introduced the idea of "reasonable suspicion" as well as the idea that you HAVE the right to free speech as long as you do not create the kind of situation that would cause a riot OR disrupt the learning process.

In this case, the kid is wearing a shirt that said "Obama is a terrorist best friend" (or just friend, i dont feel like checking at this moment) but either way it's something that would catch other student's eyes. If you're an Obama supporter and you're sitting near this kid it is going to be a HUGE distraction. Not to mention the kid could also meet up with some people who strongly disagree with him and potentially duke it out because of how strong the statement is.

So in short, yes the school made the right decision. They were protecting him as well as other students in the building from the various situations that could come up, and no, nothing will happen as far as a lawsuit (except maybe these people will lose big money on attorney fees) but the school in this case is untouchable. And it should be!
The line needs to be drawn somewhere.

Now if the kid wanted to wear a shirt that said uhhh ^looks up anti obama slogans^
"Defend America, Defeat Obama"
then i would argue that this would be the kind of thing that should be allowed. It's just clearly not as inflammatory. It makes it's point and carry over into the insulting (the kind of thing that people would be offended by)

but btw obama RULES w00t

I think the best thing about them competing against each other is that it's given us a huge variety of great guitars to choose from. While my favorite guitar is the Telecaster, I love me the sound of a good Les Paul as well.

I don't really like John 5, but GOD do I love Telecaster tone.

*beg
For sweet Telecaster goodness, per JAPR.
