Neo that is real cool how you played  Phill's song.      Bonza performance.     

Cheers TF and Eb for your comments I think  schools should teach kids a healthy cynicism and a need to  not believe all they hear.
Exaggeration in the mass media seems to be common. False or inaccurate information, especially that which is deliberately intended to deceive.seems to me to be prevelant and not only spread by the media but also political parties worldwide. Political marketing is now a fundamental part of political life. Presidents and Prime Ministers; politicians and parties; government departments and councils all use marketing in their pursuit of political goals. As it takes experience and training to "spin" an issue, spinning is typically a service provided by paid media advisors and media consultants.  Many of the largest and most powerful companies have in-house employees and sophisticated units with expertise in spinning issues.  Spin approaches used by many political teams include "burying" potentially negative new information by releasing it at the end of the workday on the last day before a long weekend; selectively cherry picking quotes from previous speeches made by an opposing politician to give the impression that they advocate a certain position; and purposely leaking misinformation about an opposing politician or candidate that casts them in a negative light.

Gary was brilliant he drank himself to death which was a sad loss.     

Bill you know how to entertain I loved hearing your voice. from Joe  Cocker to  Mac Davis. Your recording I enjoyed every second of it.     
Cheers Pete

Brilliant Phill as I listened to your song I could visualize it being a scene from a movie. That is a top song, 
Cheers

Jim great song about love that has slipped  away.
Jeff that is  an excellent cover,     

Here in New Zealand we have more University graduates then we need and not enough skilled people in the building trades. Your words Jeff I think would resonate with many  down here in NZ.     

Shalom   Classical Guitar I am very sorry and sad  to hear of  the Pittsburgh synagogue attack and my heart goes out to the victims friends and family. .     

I admire people that can read music and understand music theory.     I have very limited understanding of both.

Nice song EB your song makes me think of that Edgar Allan Poe quote  “Believe nothing you hear, and only one half that you see.”     

Thank you Easy Beat and Neo  for taking time to comment on and read my piece.This year's world air guitar title was won by a Japanese lady ,  Nanami Nagura. I see females are now taking up guitar more then they use to. I wonder if  many people play air piano??
Jim I guess if Sigmund Freud was around today, instead of writing my piece, he would have presented an intellectual  university paper on the male gender  describing  the energy created by the life instincts and DNA of the male prone to playing air guitar and it's effect on the human female.     When I hear people say they have made "a Freudian slip" I always think Freudian Slip would be a good name for a boat ramp. I guess that shows that I really am weird. 
Phill you are right kids are a great source of inspiration. I can imagine there are people out there who could tell some interesting stories about blow up guitars.
Classical Guitar there are some brilliant lady guitar players out there in all genres but I think there is still a need for more to strut their stuff. I am starting to realise that maybe the Kid is  right not many girls are prone to playing air guitar. I had alot of funny ideas come into my head following his question.
