It's hard to be billed as a "Great Leader" when you are a farting machine.

I was a strict veterinarian for 25 years starting in the 1960's until 1982 or so.I was even a union bricklayer during those years. Then one day I stopped in to a Burger King and got a whopper, and loved every bit of that sandwich that day
and that ended my vegetarianism for good......... I eat mostly veggies now, with a little Turkey or Chicken meat and rarely a steak.

We shall see what Paul Simon does about it. Jeff Beck struggled for years with hearing loss, Yet Jeff Beck continued on somehow with playing and performing almost up to his passing. Best Wishes Paul Simon. You done plenty good already.

I have an Ibanez RG 321 predecessor to the RG421 mentioned above. One of my all time favorite guitars. It is not only a metal guitar it is more of an all around instrument. It has tones similar to a strat on some of the pickup combos, and also similar to a shorter scale Gibson guitar on some of the other pickup combos. I paid $199 for it and another hundred for the case a dozen years or so ago. Best three hundred I ever spent on any guitar and case.

I will stick with JJ Tubes from Eurotubes. Been very happy with them regardless of any price differences.

The last Line 6 product that I bought was the Pod XT back in early 2002 or 2004 or so. I used it a while then gave it to my kiddo.
Here is the last thing I did with it as I recall https://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=5913545 I think the tone was decent enough both in overdrive and in the cleans.
By the way I never had much luck in getting in touch with Line 6 even back then.

I would put in Duncan little 59'rs I use them in my Homemade Strat (sort of) clone. It is one of my all time favorite guitars for tone. Gives you something between a Gibson and Strat sound. Real smooth in the overdrives and sparkling clean on the clean side.

I use D'addario XL 110's, and I have been using those same strings for 40+ years. I even used the D'addario XL 110's on my acoustic guitars when I had acoustic guitars. I tried others from time to time but I always went back to the D'addario XL 110's.

I have a lightweight amp that has all the effects in it that I need. I also have a Bluetooth speaker that is actually pretty loud, I have the guitar in a case and the needed wires fit inside the back of the amp. Guitar in one hand and amp in the other with the Bluetooth speaker for a second trip. No mikes and no PA's or speakers for vocals. I can sing pretty loudly and play at the same volume as my amp and Bluetooth speaker if I was busking. If I was actually playing out for gigs, I would have a nice hand truck and some ties to fasten the equipment to the hand truck.

Since I lived on an island on the east coast surfing was a big deal to most of us locals, so the Beach Boys were a must listen to back there and back then.

I thought the whole show was very entertaining, Nobody did as well as the Beach Boys on most of the songs but still entertaining throughout the show.

Surfing looks really hard.
Surfing was easy for me to learn. I even learned how to shape and glass surfboards. However I grew up on an Island on the Jersey shore. I was swimming in the ocean since I was about 4-1/2 years old. And as a kid I used blow up rafts to ride the waves in from the sand bar.
Then the original Ron Jon surf shop opened up in 1961 in Ship Bottom N.J. https://www.ronjonsurfshop.com/store/ship-bottom-new-jersey That was the very first one of all of that chain of Ron Jon Surf shops. The owner is Ron DiMenna who originally partnered with another guy who disappeared from that shop shortly after.
Ron started that shop in a disconnected trucking trailer (the large trucking trailers)
Anyways, around the middle 1970's or so I divorced my first wife, and the 2 boys came and lived with me. So I took them surfing, first in Ship Bottom N.J. Then we made a trip to Cape Hatteras and that is where I got my first successful ride, (This was a few weeks after we started trying to surf in Ship Bottom on little knee slapper waves) (the waves at Hatteras were overhead and shaped nicely). Then we traveled to Florida a few times and did Hatteras regularly until we got the itch to surf the Pacific, so we went to San Diego County California regularly every winter for about 10 years with a side trip to Kauai Hawaii early on in our Cali winter surfing odyssey's.
In short, once you are a "water man" who understands the flow of the water and where the sand bars and reefs are, and apply yourself to learn, It is relatively easy until the waves get double overhead.

@surfergirl I was gonna say backdoor myself, but I changed my mind. Banzai Pipeline sounded scarier to the unfamiliar with the surfing lore folks.
