Chad Nordhoff What is wrong with you folks? This man is a fucking legend and has a row of Grammys, when that really meant something by the way, and has more music, not technique, not pop approach, in one cell of his scrote than any Garys or Chads out there craving only visual and light speed reptilian stimulation to distract them from that moment of the real. Get it together boys and pay attention. Also, if you aren’t just blown away with real by his Kid’s band, you deserve the musical drivel of your white bread foot tap syncopation challenged skiffle ass grits...with no butter or salt let alone hot sauce. Get it together and p,ease, I’m begging you, don’t insult the muse. She is always listening.

[@Mandoslicer]

With apologies to the muse. I had to do it.

[@Mandoslicer]

And, I may be wrong, but I bet you can count the number of musicians out here who are talking about you on one finger. Yep, you’re welcome. I’m it.

[@Mandoslicer]

PS I say all this with Love and Purity. No malice meant. This man means a lot to me. Y’all be nice...K?

[@g2theg]

I feel sorry for the people who have to listen to this ramblin’ man; good stories, but GET TO THE POINT, IF THERE IS ONE
