Stupid as the Sun

Don't fuck with a bluegrass fan.

Simple advice you would think, considering stereotypes of hill-billy's with shotgun's all hopped up on Uncle Jed's moonshine. Even putting those aside, theres something dark and threatening to be found behind the Upright Bass and the Banjo. So WHY would anyone think that confronting a banjo player in the middle of the night would be a good idea? It smacks of horror movie storyline. Its not that a banjo is a scary instrument, but close your eyes and imagine a quiet night in rural New South Wales. Perhaps evoking the movie Ned Kelly will help. A dark lonely silence pierced by the mournful twang of a banjo from your neighbours.

You have choices.

Ignore it and hope it goes away.
Call the local authorities.
Approach the tattooed, shotgun wielding perpetrator and confront the motherfucker yourself.

Yep, easy decision to make I reckon.

As you can tell there doesn't seem to be much going on in NZ at the moment. We're also obsessed with the Aussie Elections, and Sally leaving Home and Away.
