thx for the welcome
Hi Richard, yes there are lots of cherries - mostly when he explains playing of the songs - Lessons doesnt make much sense for me - as I learn best from songs - not technics - and I never get any lessons from anybody in the last >50 years - but it works for me somehow - but always can be better 
- and yes a play sometimes live and with a little band⊠cheers david

just grown over the years ! Only 1 advise - never sell a guitar ! I did way back and sold a 69 tele - I am an idiot!
That only works if you always buy the right guitar.

About good lyrics⊠I always like Neil Youngs Statement for Lyrics : Music without a political reason is senseless - and I ve grown with Woody and Pete Seeger and Joan Baez⊠so that fits perfectâŠ

Iâve bought expensive guitars that werenât the right ones.
If you have a political message, music can be a good vehicle (or a terrible one!) 
Iâve come across a couple of good songs about love, death & religion
Come to think of it, that covers the bulk of Nick Caveâs material (my favourite artist)
(Edit: Oops, I forgot mental illness too 
)
Hi Brian, well its Neils Statement not mine - but I can agree - and yeah Nick is doin good lyrics - I have met him way back in the 80ties - nice guy⊠- I am rehearsin on "Into my arms " still
cheers
I think the statement is broad and sweeping to say the least. I am a NY fan and know he has written songs with relevant messages, sometimes explicitly political, sometimes perhaps less directly. And he has written many songs about other things, none of which Iâd consider to render the music âsenselessâ. Maybe a quote out of context.

Haha, if it was the â80s I imagine Der Höhlen-Nicklausâ memory might be âa bit fuzzyâ regarding that encounter 
Was Blixa there too? Berlin has always fascinated me, and I finally got to visit it recently. Very different place obviously, but still loved it
Well that were rough times in the 80ties - yes Blixa and all the others were there too - Mick HarveyâŠChrislo Haas ⊠Alex Hacke⊠- As I worked at Hansa at the Wall or in my studio these daysâŠ
