Guitars Are Cool
   Well, me and the guys were hanging out in the studio, waiting for our producer to finish writing the lyrics for our latest track, "Babies Galore," when he mentioned to us that there would be a special guest on the track, a very  popular artist, he said.  I wondered who it could be- Britney?  Whitney?  Brandy?  Mandy?  I was bursting with  excitement.  "Who is it?" I asked excitedly.
   "Eric Clapton," he said. 
   Of course, like anyone who is not an immediate relative of this Clapton fellow, I asked, "Who?"
   Apparently he has sold a boatload of records, even though he's played with some real no name bands through his career- the Yardbirds, Cream, Blind Faith, Derek and the Dominos.
   He brought some sort of instrument with him.  He called it a "guitar."  It kind of looks like a large violin or a small bass with six strings.  He plucked the strings with a plectrum, or "pick," for short. It created a noise I'd never heard before.  This wasn't computer-generated.  Oh, and this guy sang while he played "Lola" or something like that.  Singing and playing an intstrument?  Wow!  I don't know who this guy was, but what talent!
   I thought instruments had been dead for like a hundred years.  And although the only "music" I know about is heartless, repetitive, and more the producer's work than that of the "artist," I think I am within my jurisdiction to say guitars are cool.
