Let’s face it,
much of our time
on this planet is occupied with the pursuit of keeping our little
brains entertained.
And as
long as there has been something to entertain us, we heve had
strong
opinions about it. We have wanted to
share our
opinions with one another since prehistoric times, when a caveman
first looked at his friend incredulously & said:
lame
ass over there as soon as we’re done killing this thing!!”
restaurants or cookware, there is virtually nothing that I will
purchase without first attempting to find at least one opinion
on the subject.
I love the fire you see in someones eyes as they tell you about a
personal favorite. Sure on occasion I get
home with the newly acquired media and
find the passion a bit misplaced to my own taste, it’s only natural.
But I have
to
respect the passion behind it.
When I first
started mulling over
the the concept of what Bonehand.com would become, I definitely wanted
it to
include
a review aspect. A few of my inspirations:
One common
denominator that most of the
above sources share is that they are primarily creations of fans.When
it
comes to reviews, I find the
enthusiastic zeal of a fanatic infinitely preferable to the
dispassionate, "fairly balanced"
air of the professional critic. As such, a more "unbalanced"
philosophy (for lack of a better term)
will be reflected
in these reviews, along
with ALL the same originality, careful thought and variation that
you've come
to expect
from Bonehand.com.
Hopefully, I
will be able to turn
some of you on to something cool that you never knew existed, or warn
you
before you buy something that you might hate. Of course, some of you
will do just that, based upon on a
review
that you find here. It’s inevitable. For example, to my last breath I
will
never comprehend Gordon’s response to
my
recommendation of the CD Ass Pocket ‘o Whiskey by R.L.
Burnside.
A great modern electric blues album
in
my
opinion, an inexcusable bag of crap in his. So,
if you do end up with something that sucks because of me,
my answer to you is: you’ll
get over it. Gordon did.
