Have you kicked a hippy today?
I have!
I was just refering to the 70s in general. We played a show the
other night for a bunch of artsy hippies who though music of the 70s
was something of the Gods. All the 70s Silverface amps I've played
with master volumes were pretty lousy. I've got a friend who owns
one and he's speced it back to BF. I now the Strait Jackets do this
with their amps. What makes you think the Bambi Molesters' amps are
stock?
If I hear and more Steely Dan...
Although one of my guilty pleasures is 70s Elvis, atleast he still
shot at things.
