Plan for Pat Wilson

by Pat Wilson · 03/16/2005 (10:16 am) · 85 comments

Dear Fender,
I recently purchased one of your guitars, an American made Stratocaster (It was red, I like red.) so that me and some friends could make a band. We use Craigs garage because it's the biggest, and since his brother has a drum kit, we figured it would be easier to bring guitars there instead of bringing drums to my place. Anyway, to the point, I am very dissapointed in this guitar because when we tried to play, no loud music came out. Then we learned that we have to buy amps. We can't afford amps, and think that they should be included with the guitar.

This brings me to my second point. We decided that we'd write some music while we waited to get our amps sent to us. Our music is going to be the best ever. Think 50-Cent, mixed with Green Day...only sung like Destiny's Child. We're going to do a remake of "Panama" by Van Halen...only it'll be better. While trying to write the music, we learned that we need to learn how to play chords. This seems like an aweful lot to learn just to make a band. Someone suggested that we start by getting a chord book and doing something easy, but that's stupid because we don't want to play stuff that sounds like that.

Anyway, please get us the amps as soon as possible. We are going to plan out our song, and when we get the amps it will be the best song EVER. Thank you for your time,
-Pat

I used to take an active role in the Loki community [that company that did ports of commercial games to linux... they tanked, horribly...]

All the time, you'd get people who'd bought the windows version and be pissy that they couldn't just run it in linux.

They wouldn't expect to get the XBox version of something free because they'd bought the PS2 version, yet they'd think that because they'd bought the windows version of something, that would immediately grant them some sort of right to use it on linux and probably mac.

Overall, the second that there's money involved, people are assholes.
