Well I just got off of E-Bay where some fool has four Gon Bops tubs bid up to $2,400.00!!! That price should include a 48 hour marriage to Britney Spears!! I also saw a pair of the new DW Gon Bops and they looked sadder than Michael Jackson's nosejob. Still another guy has a set of Gon Bops on E-Bay with the charactersitic HUGE cracks running down the sides. People are actually bidding on that crappy firewood. I knew that the drug problem was getting out of control in California, but what are those people thinking? These drums are simply NOT all that great!!!! Please put down that crack pipe!!!!
Oh yeah, I do remember Paulinho, especially when he was recording with Dizzy, Joe Pass, and made his Agora disc. Great stuff, indeed. But I still wouldn't shake a tambourine for the Carpenters, although that stuff's creative compared to the current crop of belly-shirted lipsyncers! For Christ sake, Kate Smith was hipper than Ashlee Simpson. At least she knew how to fry a chicken!! Now I heard someone on E refer to the Olsen twin who's not in rehab as the FAT one. I just hate Hollywood!!! Well see Tonio, now you've got me on a rampage. I need a rum drink.......or a timba endorsement. Who's buyin?
