Conspiracy theories are like blockbuster Hollywood movies. Instead of the painful, confusing tedium of historical detail that meets us when we try to understand the world, they offer spectacle, clear dichotomies of good and evil, the promise of redemptive resolution.

Or, if only we could change the frequency of standard musical pitch from 440 Hz to 432 Hz, we could throw off the yoke of Nazi mind control, experience pure meditative bliss, open our root chakras, and…. Wait… what?
The first non-Red Special model ever made by the Queen guitarist's company, the Arielle model features a Korina/Limba body, a one-piece mahogany neck with 24 frets, and a 24-inch scale length, same as the Red Special. Sonically, the guitar's outfitted with May's Tri-Sonic single-coil pickups and the same phase-switching system found on the Red Special. The six-switch system allows each pickup to be engaged and have its phase reversed independently. Additionally, the guitar's outfitted with your usual master volume and tone controls.

Jimmie Rodgers is widely regarded as the “father of country music.” He rose to wide acclaim in the late 1920s with his famous “blue yodel,” his iconic songs about trains, and his laid-back, bluesy vocals.

He was a blessed and enlightened individual... and he was my friend. Denny maintained the quintessential Bass/role playing persona There was nothing rote about DJ. He must have been born with a comprehensive insight into the human condition and its obvious contradictions. His maturity, at least from a philosophical musical standpoint was intimidating to this wannabe guitarist/visual artist. He maintained early on the outwardly misunderstood manifestations that an individual with the ability to see through the daily b/s is destined to carry as an added weight.
