I think we were afraid of this subject. It will go political really fast. Very interesting read but we might want to lock the comments. ;)

I read the entire article; interesting and informative, but not one bit political. Where did you get the notion that discussing Fender will "go political really fast"??

Nice to see you still check-in on us, Boss! ;)

The article, itself, was not political, but I can see many ways that one might comment on this in a political manner. (not that anyone here would do so!!)

How about this:
Guitar Center is owned by Bain Capital.
Somehow that just makes sense. :lol:

In general I fond the article sobering. A virtual wet blanket on my get-rich-quick scheme. :lol:

Right you are Chuck.

This subject has come up on the left leaning TV and radio shows but Fox and Rush won't mention it.

Sorry John. I baited you into making an out-of-spec comment.
Being that this discussion was begun by or former Unitary Executive I felt a need (compulsion really) to put my toe on the line.
Its what I do. <BSEG> <-- old school
