This is a bulletin that I received in myspace. I am sure it is not the first of these things, but the first I have recieved.

Dear Friends,

My name is Dave Rhodes. In September 1988 my car was
reposessed and the bill collectors were hounding me like you wouldn’t
believe. I was laid off and my unemployment checks had run out. The
only escape I had from the pressure of failure was my computer and my
modem. I longed to turn my advocation into my vocation.
This January 1989 my family and I went on a ten day cruise to
the tropics. I bought a Lincoln Town Car for CASH in Feburary 1989.

I am currently building a home on the West Coast of Florida, with a
private pool, boat slip, and a beautiful view of the bay from my
breakfast room table and patio. I will never have to work again.
Today I am rich!!! I have earned over $400,000.00 (Four Hundred
Thousand Dollars) to date and will become a millionaire within 4 or 5
months. Anyone can do the same. This money making program works
perfectly every time, 100% of the time. I have NEVER failed to earn
$50,000.00 or more whenever I wanted. Best of all you never have to
leave home except to go to your mailbox or post office…

“The original “Make Money Fast” letter was written in 1988 by a person who used the name Dave Rhodes. Biographical details are not certain — in fact, it is not clear that this is the person’s actual name — but it is often said Rhodes was a student at Columbia Union College, a Christian college in Maryland, who wrote a text file chain letter titled “Make Money Fast”, and uploaded it to a nearby BBS. The scam soon reached the Internet, where it was forwarded over e-mail and Usenet although it was not until spamming became a major problem in 1994 that “Make money fast” exploded. It is rumored that Rhodes was eventually convicted and that as part of his sentence he had to create an anti-spam Web site, but no evidence of this has been found. ” -wikipedia

I was recently involved in a project where my friend Javier and I captured and re-edited an episode of Donahue. A part of the episode that we didn’t use was about celebrity’s heirs and whether or not they should have legal control over their relatives “images”. One portion of this featured the son of Clark Gable. One would assume that the son of Clark Gable would be every bit as dashing and eloquent as his father….such was not the case. I feel kind of bad for him…wherever he is. Another celebrity “son” is sitting beside him on the set…can anyone guess who his famous father is?

Ghost Ride The Whip.

“This act involves the driver and/or passengers of any given vehicle exiting while it is still rolling and dancing beside it or on the hood or roof.”
-wikipedia

Perhaps this is more commonly done on the West Coast. I had never heard of it until recently. Ghost Riding’s presence and popularity on YouTube is probably going to catalyze some East Coast fatalities.

For the 70′s Mesa Amps are famous for extreme HiGain distortion and Sustain.
Mesa Boogie is absolute Topklasse – a Amp for professionals.

Who plays Mesa Boogie, it should realize itself that he drives a
Ferrari. The Amps does not give consideration to a riser difficulties.
They are expensively, hot and aggressively,
manufactured from the absolutely best construction units!

A Mesa Boogie Player should also accept that for a tube change it selected and
accordingly expensive original Mesa Boogie of tubes should be used!

One is recompenced with a merciless sound. Also the new f-series makes here no
compromises! The ticket to the championsleague, a Toplevel guitar
presupposed – thus
one is beyond each criticism.
