1. That Rich_tones guy posted a thread...

on MLP or TGP a couple of weeks ago about this. I'd post a link but I can't find it now.

Crazy.

2. That guy's been talking about Joe Bonamassa's hair for weeks? Yes,

that is crazy.

I do NOT understand WHY people think it's cute to post messages like that.

Joe's fans have been very lucky to have him on social media.

Very lucky to have his music, period.

Joe isn't the first celebrity to be driven off social media by self-appointed critics who probably couldn't take any scrutiny themselves. But it's always a shame when it happens.

Online forums and comment sections do give people a voice.

But having a voice and an opinion doesn't make it okay to always post it. It doesn't make it okay to be a jerk.

And since Joe isn't promoting how he wears his hair, it was idiotic for that rich_tones troll to think anyone needed to hear his ignorant opinion of it.

3. Yup!

Some of those jokers on guitar forums are real numbskulls.
