Unknown Number The perpetrator is a psychopath and should not be allowed contact with any of the victims ever again, in person or in any way. Or at the very least there should be years of counseling before the perpetrator is allowed contact. I didn't see any true remorse or taking accountability. In fact, they made it seem like they were a victim. Disgusting.

I've been playing electric for a long time. I wanted to be Paul Gilbert when I was a kid and got decent, but the kids on youtube today blow me out of the water even at my best. I dabbled in acoustic and learned some songs in my teens and 20s in order to get laid, with varying success (the getting laid part). My trick was to learn the guitar part so well that I can have a conversation at the same time, and then singing it was easier. A couple of songs I remember playing and singing well were My Drug Buddy by the Lemonheads and Deperately Wanting by Better Than Ezra. I can sing okay. My head voice and my bridge really needs work though. Like right off the bat I know that the Keane song, Radiohead, and the Crowded House song are gonna be a challenge. I have to shake off the rust for sure, but should be fun. I'll only be playing for friends and family.

What are some songs you guys like to play and sing? Since my wife made the commitment to learn one song in a year, I've committed to learning 30 new songs in that same time. It's sort of a bet. I know I'm not gonna make it but it's a fun stretch goal. And it was fun at our recent camping trip with a bunch of families to sing along while other people were playing. I think I heard Wagon Wheel 4 times in 2 nights. Some dude played American Pie all the way through. It was torture. I'm only learning songs that I like and I'm ignoring cliched campfire songs (Brown Eyed Girl, Let it Be, Sweet Caroline). I'm not at 30 songs yet. Here's what I got so far and I've already learned New York New York and Valerie: Valerie (Zutons/Amy Winehouse) New York New York & Oh My Sweet Carolina (Ryan Adams) Don't Change (INXS) Somewhere only we know (Keane) Take On Me Pancho and Lefty Everlong As It Was & Golden (Harry Styles) When You Sleep (My Bloody Valentine) Circles (Post Malone) People Watching (Sam Fender) Elderberry Wine (Wednesday) When the Party's Over (Billie Eilish) Friday I'm in Love Cough Syrup (Young the Giant) Fake Plastic Trees 1979 Diet Pepsi (Addison Rae) Interstate Love Song Payphone (Maroon 5) Summer of 69 Don't Dream It's Over

This is blowing my mind. I had no idea. I knew that Pantera was glam, but not AIC. That's really Layne, looking like CC DeVille. Holy shit.

Yeah it's not likely. My wife is a fast learner but she's never played any musical instrument before. I forgot to mention something - she saved me from making a big mistake with my guitar. I have (what I thought was) a junker acoustic that I picked up at a mom & pop music shop a long time ago for cheap. My main interest is electric so I never paid much attention to it. It's been sitting in my closet for years. I listed it on Facebook marketplace last year for $100 (close to what I paid for it) but my wife pleaded with me to not sell it cause she swears she's gonna pick it up one day. I just set it up for her and looked up the model on on the web to get more info. It's a Yamaha DW-15. Needless to say I'm glad I didn't sell it for $100. Made in Taiwan, solid wood. Don't know how much it's worth but it sounds amazing.

I was watching youtube to learn some songs for an upcoming camping trip for the campfire. She caught me watching this video. She stopped and said "you know what babe, I'm gonna learn how to play guitar. And in one year I'm going to play this song just like that guy at next year's camping trip." I gave her a kiss on the forehead and said "good luck babe. I'll give you all the pointers you need but that guy is miles better than me." It'll be a miracle if she gets anywhere close. Maybe if she plays just this one song she'll make progress. Just learning to play and sing at the same time will be a major hurdle.

Arrested for finger banging in public. I lol'ed at the first few seconds of the video with the waitress describing the incident. And the dude's mugshot. The comments are hilarious. >At one point the cop asked "do you have anything on you that will poke me?" Well obviously yes. > When they smelled his fingers, he was found guilty

The kid with downs syndrome has good head movement and takedowns. He never should have pulled guard but he scrambled and recovered quickly.
