    The most beautiful, stuff, of course, were the sounds Townshend coaxed from it.

    Would "Won't get Fooled Again" have been possible without the sound of a Les Paul? Hah?! (watch, now CigarMike will come along and inform me that Pete used a Strat during the recording)

    Les Paul was also an incredible player.

    RIP. He invented the greatest machine mankind has ever known! Will ease all pain! Will make you appear 100 times better looking than you are to women who otherwise would not spit on you! Will make even simple minded idiots apprear to be great intellectuals to over-educated liberal rock journalist! EXAMPLE:
    Rolling Stone: So, Kurt, what do you think of the conservative movement in America and how capitalism
    takes over the lands and local economies of Third World peoples, monopolize their markets, depress their wages, indenture their labor with enormous debts, privatize their public service sector, and prevent these nations from emerging as trade competitors by not allowing them a normal development.
    Kurt:A mullato an albino A mosquito my libido
    RS: Wow. That really says it all, man.

    Yes, truely this was the most powerful ever created. Sadly, sometimes this powerful weapon has fallen into the wrong hands. Twisted idiots who use it to do great evil, like Tom Morello and his chorts brainwashing the youth into thinking che, mao, and fifo were great men rather than the killers they were. Thank God for Johnny Ramone, Terrible Ted, James Hetfeild, and Joe Perry for showing conservatives can rock!
