I felt a certain kinship with Ralph and Michael Green, we three the only longhairs at CES in the 90's. I cut off my mop in 2003 when Pearl Harbor (whose band I had just joined) asked me if I would not mind doing. She was a London-type Punk/Rockabilly singer (three albums on WB, Stiff in the UK), and didn't cotton to anything remotely hippie-ish. She had been married to Clash bassist Paul Simonon, and liked her band to look "manly"---50's greaser style. I actually love that look, and gladly acquiesced. But I'm back to the biker look, like Steve Earle in his hard-rockin' period. I prefer to think of it as biker, 'cause I never liked the Hippie style. Love beads, bell-bottoms, and a headband? Yuch!
Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics?
Mechanical grounding or isolation from vibration has been a hot topic as of late. Many know from experience that footers, stands and other vibration technologies impact things that vibrate a lot like speakers, subs or even listening rooms (my recent experience with an "Energy room"). The question is does it have merit when it comes to electronics and if so why? Are there plausible explanations for their effect on electronics or suggested measurement paradigms to document such an effect?

How sad. Do the Birkenstocks at least live on?Heck, most hippies these days drive hybrids and drink kombuchas... but I've not had Birkenstocks for decades (they didn't hold up so well in the Minnesota winters; neither did my socks). But I still wear sandals as much as I can. I even ride my bike with sandals (Shimano is making their clipless sandals again) which I used when I rode the Tour Divide back in June. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhrtPyr1KQI |

The discussion in which the Ginsberg Burroughs anecdote appeared was about knowledge not lifestyle. To whit,And you separate those two things how? Have you read any of his novels or are you flying on derivative knowledge as usual....? Again, I don't look to either pedophiles or drug addicts for "knowledge" aka wisdom. |
