I'm intrigued by the scrawlings and the signatures on the guitar. Is it 
just me, or does each signature trail off suspiciously, like it might 
if you were faking it? Tom "U (umlaut)  Rok" Maxwell is more like 
"Maxwmwmmmm....." Same with Katharine "Cha Cha" Whalemmmnnnn. And Ken 
"X-Ray 5" Moshmmmmmmmm. When you're a rock star, do you get special 
illegibility dispensation, like doctors? Or is it the big fat metallic 
paint pens they make you use? Or is it something more disturbing? Why 
is it that the president's signature is always trailing off on all 
those executive orders, Mr. Chennnmmn? Hmmm?

You can't trust Amsterdam. Or the Hard Rock Cafe. Or Dick Cheney.

Speaking of umlauts and Dick Cheney, I hear that Hell is hosting John 
Kerry's acceptance speech:
