I'd like to make a speech about blue guitars. Here goes:
The main problem with blue guitars is the same as the main problem with blue cars: They're a little bit off the beaten path.
That doesn't mean they're a bad thing. Where would we be without the blue-painted airplanes the Navy used in the Battle of Midway? We'd be nowhere.
So it's in honor of Midway, and my father's participation in the Pacific War, disarming mines on the beaches, that I bought blue guitars.
OK, that's a lie. I bought them because they had features I wanted, and I don't hate blue. But who cares about my motivation, anyway?
But my father really did disarm mines on the beaches of Kwajelein, and he has been missed since 1986. I should name all blue guitars after him, but I haven't. Because to me with the purple, they look more like Goth girls.
Not that there's anything wrong with goth girls. They're just a little too young for me.
