Tuesday, October 5, 2010 – No Vibrations

"Good Vibrations" art guitar, Sunset Strip, Tuesday, October 5, 2010

There something sad about this. It's the "Good Vibrations" art guitar on the Sunset Strip – part of a series (see Ultimate Guitars and Giant Guitars and Serious Guitars and This Odd Town) – but Brian Wilson here is looking old and tired. The Age of Rock is over – the weekend will bring what would have been John Lennon's seventieth birthday (October 9) and the Beach Boys broke up long ago. It's over. And it's raining on the Sunset Strip.
