I know, it’s business and the way of the world, but these mergers always come with that feeling of impending doom.

At least Randy Smith and Doug West are still running the show at Boogie. Fender will probably be sold to Carl's Jr, like on the movie Idiocracy lol

I hadn’t thought about it that way, but I guess both?

Did she lightly toss the fish in cocaine and turn them into Sour Patch Kids for them?

i want all of these generational companies (where everyone who ever cared is gone or dead) to go away so we can have some new superamps.
