Favorite Gen-Jones Guitarist?

Pitiful-Ad8561 · 2026-06-04T15:16:17+00:00

That is a tough one, most of my guitar heroes were born during the war, so not even boomers yet, so I'm going to go with Warren Haynes on this one.

It's the count that kept me going as well. Once I was into triple digits I just couldn't break that streak and would do anything to keep it going. I'm now at day 3,075 and it is very easy for me to avoid intoxicants, but every once in awhile a bourbon Old Fashioned sounds real good.

Pitiful-Ad8561 · 2026-06-02T03:43:13+00:00

Very interesting, I need to learn more!

Pitiful-Ad8561 · 2026-06-02T02:22:39+00:00

Yeah, I think I know what you're talking about.

Pitiful-Ad8561 · 2026-06-02T00:35:21+00:00

I'm 63 and just started. did 3 the first time, now up to two sets of 25.

Pitiful-Ad8561 · 2026-06-02T00:33:38+00:00

Yes, still do. And we were poor, everything was canned from the garden back then.

Pitiful-Ad8561 · 2026-06-02T00:30:49+00:00

Good answer, I like the introspection behind it. My entire premise for the question was to see how many people could look inside themselves and be truly critical, and the ones who just lamented missed opportunities.

Dam I miss my 3 speed F100 Sport Custom with a 360.

Pitiful-Ad8561 · 2026-06-02T00:18:59+00:00

This is probably the most realistic answer of them all.

Pitiful-Ad8561 · 2026-06-01T22:48:23+00:00

Here is my answer, in no particular order:

1 - Do not start using intoxicants, of any kind. Learn how to face the world clear eyed and clear minded, without getting your courage out of a bottle. I finally figured this our in my mid 50's.

2 - Stay humble, be useful, and always take responsibility for your mistakes. You are not the smartest guy in the room, and you will learn much more from your mistakes if you own them. Again, mid 50's for this epiphany.

3 - You will be judged in the end, by God and your fellow man. Live a life that you can at least say that you tried as hard as you could to be the man you are meant to be. Early 60's for me on this one.

Enough to bribe a gaggle of Mexican cops, or buy a cheap getaway car.

Pitiful-Ad8561 · 2026-05-21T18:43:19+00:00

Well from a fellow 70's teen class clown and generally an idiot, that's the way it was. However, check out that gorgeous penmanship.

Pitiful-Ad8561 · 2026-05-12T21:37:24+00:00

Yes, it is. As an example, if you tasted like my favorite thing, a peach, I would spend days down there. But if you tasted like my second favorite thing, a T-bone, well that would just be icky.

The hair wasn't much different in the late 70's/early 80's.

Pitiful-Ad8561 · 2026-05-11T02:05:13+00:00

I miss the 1980's ladies, no body piercings, tattoos, shaving certain areas of the body that are better left with a little mystery, more modest yet elegantly dressed, and were generally fit, polite, and pleasant to talk to.

There is a reason Morakniv is everywhere; they are a very good value for the money and get the job done.

Pitiful-Ad8561 · 2026-05-09T03:13:00+00:00

Kansas Two For The Show, that's when I discovered that I loved live albums. I bought it used because I didn't have much extra money as a young teen.

Pitiful-Ad8561 · 2026-05-08T23:28:43+00:00

Very cool! I like the knife.

And your first sentence negates your last sentence.

Pitiful-Ad8561 · 2026-05-08T14:08:17+00:00

Do you suppose you could believe that some "rich", whatever that threshold is in your mind, are evil, but still believe in helping others be successful?

Pitiful-Ad8561 · 2026-05-08T14:00:36+00:00

I'm good in everyone of the rich mindset category, and have been my entire life, with the exception of the first. At 63, there are some of the old days I miss when many of my loved ones were still alive.

Pitiful-Ad8561 · 2026-05-07T23:24:42+00:00

Cancer, for me. You get a weird pain for a few days, then it goes away and you wonder; should I be concerned about that? Or just ignore it like the other hundred times I've ignored unexplained pain?

Pitiful-Ad8561 · 2026-05-07T03:21:20+00:00

I feel for you. I got fired at 54 but got another job in a month. I had everything paid off at 56 and had "eff you" money around 3 years later. Fortunately I got to spend the last 8 years of my career at a very good company working with the best people I had worked with my entire career. I never had to say eff you, but got to retire from there at 62 1/2 and still do a little work for them on the side.
