Man, it’s hard for me to sit back and see, read, stomach, and ultimately let go of all the ridiculous concepts that inundate the feeds of social media. I wonder how many people can honestly say that they believe that Trump is about what his campaign depicts him as, and have any of them actually studied the transcripts, watched a single afternoon of trials, or even seen the endless array of “fact checking” that makes him the bigot, racist, liar, and yes criminal that got him impeached. Or beyond that, moving forward, educated themselves on the process electing someone to the office of the President of the United States. The idea that this election is fixed, or that there is some unfair tabulation of the ballots, or that mid stride somebody in the magical world of election hacking is controlling the outcome is laughable. Or furthermore, by waving a sea of ridiculous fist pumping MAGA masks when they need to be on a face will change the truth. His incompetency has spawn a new level of stupidity where it already festers in desperation and hate. To all the people in support of this ridiculous notion that the last 4 years can somehow be cathartically dispelled in some futile attempts to belittle Biden or Harris i say, go back, do your homework; educate yourselves... “If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck... its probably a Mother F’n Duck” #DontBotherWeighingiN #LookInTheMirror #GodSeesTheSin #GetAGrip DontTrip #LetTheNationSpeak #LiVE #LoVE #ALLGloryToTheManAbove https://www.instagram.com/p/CHLxwiQHeru/?igshid=131vy9k7f4yu7

On the floors of Tokyo A-down in London town's a go go A-with the record selection, And the mirror's reflection, I'm a dancin' with myself A-when there's no one else in sight, A-in crowded lonely night Well, I wait so long for my love vibration And I'm dancing with myself Oh oh, Dancing with a-myself, Oh, oh, dancing with myself Well, there's nothing to lose And there's nothing to prove, well, Dancing a-with myself... #WhenUKnowTheWieghtLandsOnYou #NoMatterHowHardYouTry #YouDoWhatYouGottaDo #HaveFaithInTheManUpstairs #LetTheMusicBeYourFriend #AndFightForWhatBelieveIn #UntilTheBitterEnd #LiVE #LoVE #AllGloryToTheManAbove https://www.instagram.com/p/CGRAUTDn7D7/?igshid=a4y0w0o6nd7d

This was taken a few months ago while testing my rig... i love this riff about as much as any i have ever heard, maybe because i can halfway play it or maybe because of it’s lasting greatness... either way, thank’s Ed for this and SO MANY of the most innovative guitar pyrotechnics to ever created. #EdwardVanHalen #RIP #RomeosDelight #WomenAndChildrenFirst #TheLossOfAnIcon #StillHittinMeWhereItReallyHurts https://www.instagram.com/p/CGF2lxCHME1/?igshid=1v12brmrbk07f

I’m standing here in the wake of the news of Edward’s passing, and the wave of emotions that have ensued, and there is so much i want to say. I don’t want to go to that place of remembrance for the sake of bragging rights or street creds so as to legitimize my grief. Instead i keep going back to the beginning, my early adolescence, and where it all started with a genuine desire to pay homage. In recent years, one would be hard pressed to see the shell of the boy that was so deeply infused in the dream of rock stardom and an influence so undeniable, i almost couldn’t live it down. But it was real, and it was a love and respect for a man held in such high regard, it gave breath. An icon out of the gate, in a league so much far ahead of anyone around, he changed the face of guitar and subsequently Rock ‘N Roll. In doing so he changed another impressionable life, a stone’s throw from the place it all started, and it was nothing short of fate. Any of the people that truly know me and know my roots, so deeply entrenched in not only guitar, but Pasadena folklore, know what i mean. I have a few stories about that journey i have been known to share from time to time, whether it be with a friend, family member, or a fan, and like the words that i struggle to find today, they will never quite paint the complete picture. So, instead of my futile attempts of eloquence, in a time no colloquy can express loss and the indelible mark he has made on the world, i simply want to say thank you Sir, rest in peace You will be missed by all... https://www.instagram.com/p/CGBjpOBHJR0/?igshid=1h88x3wsz7stv
