They still have more talent than most of the performers who receive Grammy Awards.


There's an old Steve Martin routine. He's an accomplished banjo player and he used to play one during his comedy act in the 1970s. He'd start strumming and the audience would listen with rapt attention - playing something like Foggy Mountain Breakdown or some such fare. After a few stanzas he'd comment that "the banjo is a happy instrument," still plucking away. "It's hard to be depressed." Plink plink. Then he'd go into this melencholic largo vocal, while still playing the banjo.

"Oh, death and grief and sorrow and murder." Then gave a wicked smile.

The irony and why everyone laughed is that, even though the words were 'depressing,' the accompaniment of the banjo made the song sound light and fun.



SOoooooooooooooooooooo while we may not have news of the patch, while we may not have heard what we wanted in the updates. We still had banjo music.

What's it mean to us? Make the best out of a bad situation. In some way I think he believed (and I've felt this since July when Luthier posted this) that cushioning bad news with a banjo made the news a little less hard to take. I'm quite sure I'm reading too much into it, but the feeling hit me hard when I read that update and it immediately reminded me of that old joke. I never thought of the update with banjo music as mocking the fan base.

I wonder if Luthier is a Steve Martin fan?

Some light music perhaps while waiting?

You need to be careful with that. Heard overpressing the F5 key might cause blindness. Not that I ever used the F5 key.

I really liked Luthier's update so I'm not trying to start a war. But, I think it's 60 days away. Not complaining, just a gut feel. What do you guys think?
