What’s that monstrosity of an acoustic guitar Carlene Carter’s playing, some Hamer Billy Gibbons Explorer copy model?
The inroads the Hamer company made in that extended Rockpile scene were amazing. There’s probably a photo of Johnny Cash playing a Hamer at this point.
Yeah, that is one fugly guitar. The cartoon characters on the backdrop look familiar, but I can’t place them.
Here in this somewhat abandoned corner, I’d like to mention an undeveloped idea I have for a thread. Using the wisdom of all present, I wonder if we can come up with a list of the top most archetypal songs of all time. I even wonder if some of the songs I presume are archetypal are actually based on some more obscure song. Maybe we can narrow it down to the top 10 or 20.
Off the top of my head, some songs that might qualify for this would be: Be My Baby, Taxman and You Can’t Hurry Love, just for starters.
This sounds like a question for The Orockle! Let me post it to him and see what he has to say.
