“From a student radical/hippie/leftist of the Free Speech Movement/Vietnam Day Commitee era and a full-on Democratic Liberal in the decades after, I think I’ve evolved a politics that is neither right nor left but is, in its elemental nature, draconian. In the last 20 years, I’ve taken apart my beliefs with a sledgehammer. Now I’ve got to put the surviving parts back together with tweezers and other ‘shabby equipment, always deteriorating’.”

The Snow Man
One must have a mind of winter
To regard the frost and the boughs
Of the pine-trees crusted with snow;
And have been cold a long time
To behold the junipers shagged with ice,
The spruces rough in the distant glitter
Of the January sun; and not to think
Of any misery in the sound of the wind,
In the sound of a few leaves,
Which is the sound of the land
Full of the same wind
That is blowing in the same bare place
For the listener, who listens in the snow,
And, nothing himself, beholds
Nothing that is not there and the nothing that is.

MK’s playing is so distinct that it separates him from every other guitar player on the planet and I never get tired of listening to him. And, he’s a genuinely humble and entertaining man.
If the police are dismantled , then who will enforce the anti-gun laws?
Let me put it this way: on that day, there will be no protection for criminals.
Not to take anything away from his playing, but a solo is unaccompanied. Or has the definition changed?

Excellent question and precise analysis. Five stars.
Win, win for America. It is called self government. On a local level it has been the only *government* that has actually worked. Anywhere.
I posted this before.
It is a better, clearer version.
And it has Clapton too, though in a subordinate position.
You can thank me later.

He can make it cry and sing.
Thanks, ghost.
The first time I hear MK and DS on the radio, I thought wow, nice to hear an obvious Chet Atkins influence in modern rock/pop. There are certain textures and tones only possible with finger picking.
I think the solo from Telegraph Road is better.
I agree. Telegraph Road was awesome. Primarily because it built upon his awesome original solo on Sultan’s
