Recently deceased blues guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughan "comes to" after his death. He sees Jimi Hendrix sitting next to him, tuning his guitar. "Holy cow," he thinks to himself, "this guy is my idol." Over at the microphone, about to sing, are Jim Morrison and Janis Joplin, and the bassist is the late Barry Oakley of the Allman Brothers. So Stevie Ray's thinking, "Oh, wow! I've died and gone to rock and roll heaven." Just then, Karen Carpenter walks in, sits down at the drums, and says: "'Close to You'. Hit it, boys!"

If Elon wasn’t on Twitter…
Funny thing is if Elon wasn't on Twitter I'd probably to this day think he's an evil but very capable industrialist, but thanks to Twitter I know he's dumb as shit and just a product of a terrible economic system that rewards being a sociopath from old money over real ability— Wild Geerters (@steinkobbe) November … Continue reading “If Elon wasn’t on Twitter…”
