I know, I know...why didn't I walk away from rock, too? Weren't music killers birthed by rock? Yeah, probably so. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instrument_destruction I didn't know that was Stephen Bishop in Animal House...there I go again ;) ). Maybe I sense more music, more potential, more 'life' in a fine acoustic than a solid body electric. I can't defend the feelings...call me conflicted. But I empathize with the author.
And then there's that emotionally troubled music killer of World's Dumbest and YouTube fame...
"It takes a lot of devotion and work, or maybe I should say play, because if you love it, that's what it amounts to. I haven't found any shortcuts, and I've been looking for a long time."
