Headliner Announced for American Music Festival for the Lake in Lake George

“With a purposeful grimace and a terrible sound
He pulls the spitting high tension wires down
Helpless people on a subway train
Scream bug-eyed as he looks in on them
He picks up a bus and he throws it back down
As he wades through the buildings toward the center of town…”
– “Godzilla,” Blue Oyster Cult

Maybe these oysters can swallow up those invading clams in Lake George?
old white male rock guitars are fucking boring
Point taken, James – though I find Joe Bonamassa, a relative whippersnapper, even more boring than the old guys!
But how do you feel about the guitarists, not just the guitars?
(and how can you tell that the guitars are male?)

It’s a metonym, look it up smart guy
@james a metronome?
@mutant
Based on the time feel of an overwhelming majority of rock guitarists, I’d guess no.
Nah, it really doesn’t work. Nice try though
