I’ve just finished watching ‘It May Get Loud’. A documentary where three guitarists meet and converse and play. Jimmy Page is one of them. The Edge the other. I grew up learning what emotions were while listening to Zeppelin in my end room in our log house in the country. My first girlfriend gave me a copy of Joshua Tree, the best album of U2 to date by then. I grew up learning what love was while listening to U2 and recalling my first kiss. Behind the barn, and I was on the second rung of the ladder. She was firmly on the ground. She being taller & I being thirsty for a kiss.
Page & Edge & Jack grew up on guitars. They pursued sonically their art. I grew up amidst felled logs & I pursued kisses. And now? Now what it is to be a man? What is it to live in the fury of life & be with life like we may now? To create. Its art, baby. Time to loose the mitts & crank the bolts to 11.
PS. The next BoXshop we”ll be cranking U2 & Zeppelin. boxshop 3 was solutionary
