This has been out there for a while. So let's recap: the guy is weird. Lots of musicians and artists are weird. He's quite likely in the top 1% of weird, but it's not like that's new news and just developed a short time ago. His music is dark (well, like super-dark), profanity-laden, is offensive to many, and will never, ever be mistaken for a cut off an ABBA album. This is not new news either. It's his form of art, and like any form of art some people will like it and some won't. Nobody has to listen to it if they choose not to. Before anyone draws the wrong conclusion, I'm in no way suggesting or even remotely implying that *anything* non-consensual (as some of these stories have asserted) is OK or acceptable. Just no -- regardless of money or fame or notoriety or anything else. But at this point, all that's been shown is a "she said, he said" scenario. Who exactly did this girl think she was dating? Winnie the Pooh? Gimme a break.

That reminds me of a line spoken by Sean Connery in “The Untouchables” (with Kevin Costner & others): “Typical [slur for an Italian], brings a knife to a gunfight.”

Well you got a valid point, in fact 2 valid ones
The girl is definitely no angel as she approached him or he approached her knowing exactly who he is, definitely not Winnie, not even remotely.
second point, IMHO it takes some weird area of a personality to be present in a threshold between sanity and insanity to be able to stand out in music the same way he is as he have lots of followers and fans and this says a lot.
And just like any relation in life, things can go south but with celebrities tabloid needs to fill lines and big banners while emphasizing on things.
Now back to our warm and shiny little tubes discussions

Depends on what kind of umbrella, check this tactical fighting umbrella

I came across an interesting tube a couple days ago, a grey glass Tung Sol. Anyone every tried one?

 

[Ripper2860]

OMG!! Is that amp still not nestled in a box and ready to ship? I think you may be experiencing premature separation anxiety and trying to put off its inevitable departure as long as possible!!

it shipped yesterday lol, along with that grey glass and a black glass Tung Sol. I do like the looks of this one but I hope to make the next one even prettier.
