Stumbled into a bar last night for a burger and a beer and a band was about to start. The average age was probably around 58. Acoustic guitar, accordion/violin (fiddle more accurately) drums. But the thing that stood out, the bass player, who had long, stringy gray hair that kinda stuck out from his head at 20 degrees, was playing a bright and shiny Rickenbacker. Don't get me wrong, I love the Rickenbacker, but all I could think about was lipstick on a pig. They started with a John Denver song if that helps to set the scene...
