About 18 years ago I bought a guitar off my mate Andy. A few years later I sold it back to Andy, and he has since sold it on. It was a Les Paul copy, nothing special, but a nice little guitar nonetheless, and whilst we were having a few pints the other day, we both lamented the fact that we'd sold it.
When I got home there was a documentary on the telly about Neil Young, in which he was playing a Les Paul, making an extraordinary noise, and I decided that I must have one. So I went onto ebay and made a bid for the guitar below, which turned out to be successful. Quite expensive for something that'll just sit in the corner gathering dust.
Incidentally, the documentary contained a fine piece of journalism, a clip from a CNN interview with Neil Young. The first question was:
"There's a song on your album called Let's impeach the President. What's that about?"
