Feh. Now y'all tell me. It was always my observation that it was the guitar
players, so after a childhood spent practicing on the keyboards, I picked up
the guitar and actually got pretty good, just in time for synthesized and
computer-driven/sampled-sequenced stuff to get popular and whaddaya know, it
doesn't matter if you can play Hendrix backwards with your tongue anymore,
the ladies all want Trent Reznor singing to a room full of Macintosh
multimedia boxes and a stack of Roland sequencers about consecration,
rejection, and eternal mopey gloom.
Feh, and go figger.
