It's a cruel and lopsided world. That's capitalism for you.

I never lose too much sleep over people spending money on ridiculous stuff. The world's an unequal place, always has been, always will be. To a large chunk of the world trying to get by on less than $2 per day (which IIRC is less than an individual cow in the EU receives in subsidies), spending several hundred dollars on a guitar looks pretty wasteful......

The one consolation I take from this is that money can't buy you taste! $300 milllion for a floating tart's boudoir?

Cheers,

Yes this dude is 38. He is worth 9.5 Billion dollars they say, so $300 million is peanuts to him.To each his own i guess.

The one thing i do not agree and having friends with money is this? Yes if i had money to buy a Porsche i would, but it`s all about attitude to me. Don`t act like you built the thing. Anybody can drive one. That`s what pisses me off. Which is why i have to say buying a guitar is not wasteful as long as you can play it. If someone I knew had a Carlos Santana PRS which is worth $10,000 and couldn`t play. That would tick me off!!

Don't you mean Carlos Santana PRS? I'm going to run out and buy one, play it like shit, just to see what your comment's gonna be........... HAAAA.

Then I'm going to cry myself to sleep, pawn everything I own, because I can't afford a 10k guitar.

You might have a guitar addiction if you wake up with a guitar on your chest more than once...............

I'm guilty.

Nigel, Gnasty and Tim are right though. I've spent more money on music in the last 16 months than some people make in a year. Part of me feels guilt ridden. A larger part really wants a PRS. Now I feel guilty for being openly selfish.

I hate the debate of capitalism, because it's working in my favor at the moment.
