KB is not a rock star.

I would have expected that from some rapper at an awards show.

Why not start an new tradition?

Make a nice box for it and send it around like the Stanley Cup? It stays a few weeks at each member of the team's house?

I am going to put it to the band saw and sign if for the crew members.


Auction it off, donate some dollars to charity and split the rest with the crew?

Put a premium on it, like 25,000 so no one gets ripped off.

Here's the deal,


At the end of one day in the not-to-distant-past, some poor idiot that works at Gibson put the finishing touches on that guitar.

He stopped, sat back for a second and called the rest of the shop over to check it out. They picked it up, made like they were rocking out, smiled, laughed, all while holding it up and looking at it from every angle-Just to make sure that it was a 'trophy' that could be admired by everyone who saw it and they would be hard pressed to find anything wrong with it.

THey packed that sucker up, slapped a few high fives and got ready to tune in on Saturday Night.

Sitting on the couch was this poor shmoe beaming with pride and saying, "Dude, I built...............WTF?"

-----------------------------


It showed disrespect and stupidity.

Had he said that he would cut it up, signed and given out the parts, I would have had more of a "Well, that was kinda cool...". Busting it up the way he did was not cool.
