I'll call second dibs after Troy. Bandmate who was selling the Les Paul and Gretsch to buy a Tele has had a revelation. It's dawned on him that he actually can buy more guitars without selling any first.
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.
