Everything I ever bought at East Coast Music Mall was fantastic except for a cable I bought which was quickly replaced without questions. I did buy a couple guitars there though that go into the "what the {censored} was I thinking" folder. Those only had myself to blame though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frets99 Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 One day I was walking by Ed Roman's store. I was carrying my baby who was overdue for a feeding. Ed wouldn't let me in his store but he did offer to nurse my child directly from his own teat. What a guy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DaveAronow Posted December 31, 2012 Members Share Posted December 31, 2012 Originally Posted by vcnyls Really? Is this still a relevant topic? The poor guy died - drop it already.

This is a public guitar forum where we discuss topics dealing with guitar related subjects, and sometimes the people that are intertwined with those topics, of which Ed was a very public and very polarizing figure. So if you have a personal problem with this thread, or are so morally above the dozens of other people in this thread that are obviously interested, maybe go find another thread. Everybody dies eventually. What they leave behind is their legacy. Ours' is not a culture in which all speak of a deceased person, or discussion of their legacy ends when they die. What you are asking for is ridiculous and not based in reality. We should also never speak of controversial public figures from all other areas of public life including musicians, actors, politicians, etc, etc. In my book, and apparently a gaggle of others in this forum all agree, discussion, all of it, good and bad of Ed Roman is fair game. And lastly, for the record, THERE IS NO CRYING IN ROCK AND ROLL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
