The Flowering of Love: Strangers From Midwest Send Bouquets

Hey! I know those happy newlyweds!!!

You know, sendng flowers isn't just about the folks in San Francisco- it's a message of hope that echos all across the country.

The mother of four was particularly moved by the idea because her youngest child, Jake, 22, a senior at Northwestern University in Illinois, came out as gay when he was 16. People in the town where they used to live threw eggs at their mailbox, scrawled anti-gay epithets on their driveway, bashed their car's windshield and wrote anonymous letters saying Jake was "sick and sinful." Their minister told the family Jake could change.

"You just can't imagine what a message it is way back here in Minnesota. You turn on your TV, and there are more and more couples getting married," Reitan said Friday through tears. "I'm hoping whoever got the flowers realizes how special it was for them to do that. They're doing it not only for themselves, they're doing it for a young man back here in Minnesota who looks forward to finding someone to love, to cherish and to celebrate that love in a wedding and call it marriage."

Aw gee. How can anyone be against love?

Or, as Adam says: "And they say it's us liberals that are destroying this country? Yeah, suuuuuure. We're saving it."

What really makes this guitar Unique is that it was originally owned by Bob Dylan. After the NAMM Show in 1993, Ceaser Diaz (Bob Dylan's close friend and tech) purchased this guitar and gave it to Bob Dylan as a present. Under the pickguard there is an inscription stating this.

Too bad there isn't of photo of this inscription. I mean, before I drop fifty grand, I wanna know that my Dylan Detritus is genuine.
