Common Theme

Someone wrecked the first guitar that I gave my son, many years ago, when he was just a lad. You could say that they wrecked a family heirloom. The kid was kind of mum about what had happened. I’m sure that alcohol was involved. I read somewhere that Kurt Cobain used to buy cheap guitars to smash on stage at the end of his shows. This was certainly the end for this guitar. We seem to have a history of smashing guitars in our family. When my son was three, I smashed a guitar over a guy’s head, in the lobby of the public access tv station where I had a show. I was drunk. I lost the tv show. I lost a lot of things smashing things drunk. I haven’t been drunk in over 22 years. Praise the Lord.
