Might want to quit guitar... cause you'll break a lot more than two if you keep playing. Or you can just drop the superstitions.

So let me get this strait: you get your car fixed for the price of a fuel pump and you're not even paying for the tow. I'm assuming you're not even stranded 'cause you're posting on the internet.....sorry, your sob story just isn't pulling at the heart strings.

ya true.....i only broke one last night cus i had to restring it to get the strings back under the neck clamp, and the string popped off from that brass ball humm....i should have explained more.....breaking a string while re-tuning, settingup, restringing is a bad omen.....breaking 3 at once while shreading is a good omen......the knarley factor dictates if its a good or bad omen

Not so much a bad omen as unlucky. At least your not as stupid as I am. I was messing around with my bass cause it stopped working while I was playing it. I got as far as taking the back off to check the battery in the pick-up before I realized that the chord was only half in the in-put on the head. Time to lay of the tweed I suppose.

Like, is it Golden Earring's fault I get a ticket nearly every time I listen to "Radar Love?" Is it possiblethat you and your friends just drove a little more agro during Thunderstruck.?

Oh, Radar Love! Yeah, my hubby has the same probelm with that song. Or, well he used to. He and his buddies used to race to Atlantic City every time they heard that song. Just drop everything and go. I guess that song would be a bad omen for me becuase I knew he was going to lose money.
