Easing back into things here at EGR… thanks again for all of your incredible support. If you want to keep up with me on more of a personal level, you can always subscribe to carymiller.net.
Anyway, like a car wreck you just can’t turn away from, Fender’s Joe Strummer Signature Telecaster continues to haunt my dreams…
The man was one of my earliest punk heroes (guitar and otherwise,) so while I find myself strangely attracted to this faux-battered instrument, the irony of Fender producing an expensive “Signature” guitar in Strummer’s name is certainly not lost on me.
“Turning rebellion into money,” indeed.
Be that as it may, the ever-present shallow consumer in me wouldn’t mind winning this bad boy––a Joe Strummer Tele customized by OBEY artist Shepard Fairey, and including a seriously distressed guitar case with the name JOE stenciled on the side. Very nice touch…

Cary, good to see you slowly returning to some semblance of life. From experience, I can tell you it will be normal to completely rip up one side of your emotions and down the other. Life won’t be the same, it will be different and that, too can also be a good thing. I can say with certain conviction, that though myself and probably most others here have never met you, I guarantee we have all thought of you every day. That is the effect this blog and your personality shining though have had on all of us. We appreciate your invite to keep up with you on a personal level, and I know the offer is equally reciprocated to all here. We are all only human, but good or bad, emotions are what define us and can make us stronger, if we choose, on this crazy journey we call life.
