Yeah.

Man, I hope it comes back somehow.

Why don't bands pay someone 50 bucks a night to sit out with the stuff?
Seriously.

The amino acids invented, or someone invented for them, a boot like the city puts on. I mean I guess boots were already invented, but they repurposed the idea and reverse engineered them.
I think that is a great idea.

WATT'S EB-3??

That is a bummer.

I am pretty sure Sonic Youth or The Stooges or whoever else can afford 50 bucks a night to make sure tens of thousands of dollars worth of their equipment is not stolen.

50 bucks a night, seriously. They can just sit out there with a book. Any bands here wanna give me 50 bucks a night to sit out with their shit?
I will take this job. I will keep to myself during the day, I won't fall asleep at night.

there's no reason the band shouldn't be doing this themselves.

didn't black flag have a van guard rotation? didn't duke have a gun?

I'm pretty disappointed that the instructions for how to play every song off The Weirdness were nowhere to be found on the list of stolen items.

I can't understand why people bring their vintage guitars out on tour. I would shit if this were my stuff.
