Bummer, Man.

As I prepare for Mr. Zhuang to join me in New Yawk, we began to make plans of the cool shit that we would do living in the city. Among the other things we discussed was going to Iridium to see the legendary Les Paul do a show, just like he does every Monday night. Unfortunately, we made our plans too late.


That's because Les Paul passed on this week. Granted, he was 94, so it was not totally unexpected. That doesn't mean it still doesn't suck.

I don't know much about the man's music, but the man was a legend. He invented the electric guitar AS YOU KNOW IT! He also did things like invent multi-track recording, so he basically invented music production AS YOU KNOW IT. Plus, he seemed like a genuinely good guy. I like the fact that many years later, he always asking Gibson to make his signature guitar more affordable. The Dude was cool.

Well, farewell Les. Keep it rockin' up there.
