    Maybe all "Patches" should be outlawed from popular music? I'll drink to that!

    I had one summer to teach myself to surf. I must have been a bad teacher because I never learned well.

    If he drove an Edsel he deserved all bad things. Let's be honest. What a hideous car.

    But do torch songs celebrate BAD love affairs? Just asking.

    Love this. You can feel the admiration Steve has for Frank, and it is rightfully deserved. Frank was an enigma; a controversial genius, technical wizard, and improvisational guru, influencing more players than we will ever know.

    Struck down at 53, who knows what he would have produced in a normal lifetime?

    I wonder how much of Buckethead's technique is reflective of FZ?

    Mostly they celebrate love unrequited.
    Often the object of such love is a complete heal or a totally unfaithful slut.

    I feel the main objective of torch songs is to contrast the purity of heart of the singer with the complete sociopaths utter indifference to love.

    A great torch song makes the listener deeply feel how very much better off the singer would be if they had fallen for ones self.
    "Anyone who had a heart"

    Pretty much sums it all up.
