While this is a good idea, this is a music forum (or supposed to be) and for those other types of subjects, there are already plenty of other forums specifically or generally for that, so why screw up this forum? Although lately, it has been allowed to be screwed up anyway, with all of these non music related threads, so WTF? :roll:

in other forums, the lounge is for open discussion on just about anything -- well political rants and being an arse will get you a lock for sure, but a discussion like this, is perfectly acceptable.

I live about 50 miles west of Boston, and have been a pats fan since I was a kid, around these parts, we all took a lot of interest in the outcome and if it matters, the Jury made the right call up and down the line. the guys a thug, to think at one time we all loved that he was one of the guys on the Pats,... how wrong we were. how the NFL lets people like this into the league just amazes me..

ok,,so...

We now return you to our regularly scheduled program where far important and pressing discussions are on going.

Maple or Rosewood? (Depends,)

Fake or Legit? (if you have to ask, it's probably fake)

Tubes or Solid state? (doesn't even bode an answer..)

Carry on......

By the way, was the news coverage of this just around the area (I live in Newport, RI so pretty much a neighbor and it was covered on the local news) or did it get mentioned in other states at all? I've only watched the local news in the morning and haven't watched any national news in a long time, so I don't know if it was even mentioned there or not.

I've been slightly news avoidant lately so I can have less aggravation in my life. :P

Well.. the money really wasn't the issue.

He was a gang-banger before he was ever in the NFL

the money just made him more prominent in those circles, and didn't change him for the better, in fact, as we can see, just made him worse.

There's at least two more killings he's about to stand trial for and rumors exist of a larger trail of dead bodies from well before that.

He was a bad dude before he had any money at all.

Do you really think they would let a convicted murderer have something he could make a garrote out of. :roll:

Yesterday , a jury found former New England Patriot Aaron Hernandez, guilty of 1st degree murder in the 2013 shooting of semi-pro football player Odin Lloyd. Because of this , Hernandez was sentenced to life with no parole. He is also expected to stand trial for killing 2 other men in Boston in 2012 in a drive by shooting. I know this isn't music related but, a bunch of us here are NFL fans and with the draft coming up , I'm hoping this will wake up the owners and have them scrutinize new players much more carefully . The NFL needs to evaluate new players not only on talent, but also on how they behave off the field as well.


Others here have wanted to know how this relates to music. Well, take a look at the industry. History has given us great music from less than desirable cats. Related vocalists, players, and lyrics of some question have not only given us hits from inside and outside prison walls; but, we have made music idols from violent backgrounds (drug pushing, sexual abuse, vandalism, and even murder. ) Other vices like robbery, bribery, extortion, blackmail, and fraud only add to that list of harmony honchos.

I'm truly not passing judgment, and I believe second chances should be given. I don't, however, think money or reputation collected from these vices should directly add to one's fame or fortune, however. It's one thing to have been a bad $@!, and another to continue on that reputation or to encourage it from others. Unfortunately, bass $@! as an art form sometimes gets lost with youth and lesser informed.

There's a place where all that bad boy reputation would certainly be accepted though.



IMHO that's how I see this topic related.

Being totally out of the sports scene, I thought the title of the thread was about a restoration of some obscure Hernandez guitar that I never heard of 8)
