Amateur…you can’t understand the sickness of accumulating stuff until you’re a musician and have suffered “G.A.S.” – Gear Acquisition Syndrome". I’m older/smarter now…but at one point in life I owned TWENTY-THREE guitars, ranging in value from US$500 to over $4000…AND a houseful of peripheral music and recording gear that ran way-way-way into the 10’s of thousands. And that was at ONE POINT – you’re always buying/selling. If I had all the money now that I’ve ever spent on musical gear, Elon would be my pool boy and Taylor Swift would be cooking dinner for me. /s
That’s because she has the courage to state (as an enormously public figure) her stance/s…and we all know that the Reich will mercilessly crucify anyone who doesn’t drink the koolaid and slobber at the feet of the Cheeto Monster.
By modern standards, she’s actually pretty talented. As Rick Beato so regularly points out, the standards for current music are abysmal. In a very short time, music won’t even require MUSICIANS any more – A.I. will create everything you hear. But it won’t bother you, as long as you’re young enough to have acquired/developed a taste for REAL music/musicians with actual talent!!!
Just hadda say – the illustration in this strip is a great – a pretty telling depiction of the Orange Monster…especially the grotesque entity that clings to his head. Even in real life it’s utterly cartoonish-looking!!!
It’s disgraceful. If these cretins were in prison (and some of ‘em SHOULD be!), they’d be the ones wearing a sundress and kicky pumps, for the “amusement” of their fellow inmates…
One of the inarguable truisms in life (especially in America): “No matter how distasteful, disgusting, immoral, illegal, exploitative, or just plain wrong something is…if there’s MONEY in it, SOMEone’s going to do it.”

Excellent strip. Reminds me of a timeless quote from Mark Twain: “The more people I meet, the better I like my dog.”
