Guys with guitars...

Honest to God, I hate them! Guys with guitars. Ever since I was 14 and mr fucking Bobby Dylan (14-year-old spotty ultra-pretentious version there-of) told me girls with guitars look silly. Even at 14 I was a better guitar-player than he was. I guess that little episode gave birth to a irritable streak in my personality that sets the alarm bells off every time a guy with a guitar is getting a wee bit too cocky. Look, you're not Bob Dylan, deal with it! And your songs, even though fabulous monuments to your massive ego, are just not that great. Why is it that talent seems to spread equally between male and female guitarists but patronising self-admiration only pours into the male section?

In all fairness, this isn't exactly a post that promotes equal opportunities or what have you, but the next time mr fucking accoustic 2005 is trying to impress me with his latest epic on social injustice, he'll get a guitar up his plectrum.

I can think of at least 10 more guys like that without trying too hard
