		<description><![CDATA[Mr. Pareso,

I suggest that when you make a strong statement such as &quot;&#039;People&#039; who play acoustic guitar are devoid of any positive impact on society&quot;, as apposed (I’m assuming) to the people who play the electric, you provide a stronger argument.

Let’s not forget the impact a person by the name of John Lennon had on society. Don’t be quick to judge a musician (“people” as you called them) by their choice of instrument. Regardless of the tool or method that is used,  the only  “douchebag”  is someone who is narrow-minded and has “notebook” with the likes of yours, absent of creativity and meaningful critique.

Wonder what your thoughts are regarding writers of online columns vs. someone has one in print.  If you got punched in the face, think the only thing that would be on your paper is blood. If you were to hang it on a wall, maybe you could call that art.

		<description><![CDATA[Michael M. Martino - Beary. BOOM ROASTED

SVAS - I don&#039;t know, I guess when they started letting people write sentences without capitalization and punctuation. BOOM ROASTED

Tobas - Great, Jack Johnson is built like a rock climber. The same rock climbers that use industrial-strength rope, harnesses, quickdraws, slings, bolts, carabiners, belays, ascends and Velcro shoes less sophisticated than what 3-year-olds wear? Sounds really tough to me. I&#039;m guessing he would need wrist wraps and gloves before he could beat me with a notebook. Do you often look at pictures of Jack shirtless? Is that how you know he is built like these rock climbers? BOOM ROASTED (Won&#039;t argue the Weird Al thing though; that is true.)

Todd R. Evans - Thank you for noticing that the only purpose of anything I write is to incite people. You are clearly a smart man, as evidenced by the inclusion of your middle initial. BOOM ROA...well I think you understand my point here, so no roasting for you.

Alright. Alright everybody. You know I kid. You know I kid. You guys are the reason that I went into the [news] paper business. So, uh, good night, God bless, God bless America, and get home safe. 

Although if you play acoustic guitar you probably live in your car and are reading this from a library computer, so walk safely to your car.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Just for the record, Jack Johnson would likely take that notebook you handed him and proceed to beat you to death with it.  He may write cute lil tunes that land on Curious George soundtracks but he&#039;s built like an f-ing rock climber.  

And yes, the accordian is cool, but that&#039;s only because Weird Al made it so.  Give credit where it&#039;s due.]]></description>
