John Kerry was a garage band bass player in the early '60s. I tried to copy the photo but couldn't. Pesky copyright laws! Anyway here's a link to it for any interested. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A4009-2004Feb1.html This is in no way either pro or anti John Kerry. It's just a point of interest.

Alan P.S. Maybe I can talk him into a Spyder 4? the_schwartz Member Username: the_schwartz Post Number: 55 Registered: 1-2003 Posted on Thursday, February 12, 2004 - 10:58 pm:    Maybe Fender will issue a John Kerry Signature model. palembic Senior Member Username: palembic Post Number: 1035 Registered: 9-2002 Posted on Thursday, February 12, 2004 - 11:23 pm:    Yeah right!

Paul - sadly his party symbol is a donkey. I think it originally meant stubborness, but lately it can be applied to other less savory human attributes... the_schwartz Member Username: the_schwartz Post Number: 56 Registered: 1-2003 Posted on Friday, February 13, 2004 - 8:24 am:    He met a girl - with the Heinz ketchup fortune, no less. Not to mention what that P-bass is worth now, if he still has it.

He married a woman worth $200 million, but that wasn't enough so he left her to marry Heinz, worth about $500 million. An interesting note, his wife was not whole heartedly behind him when he first started running for pres. What's that tell you? ;) adriaan Intermediate Member Username: adriaan Post Number: 124 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Friday, February 13, 2004 - 8:44 am:    What does that tell me? You can fool a hell of a lot of people most of the time, but you have to give up playing bass or they'll find out. Anyway, as long as George W. does not get re-elected I'm not complaining. Then again I'm not American. jet_powers Intermediate Member Username: jet_powers Post Number: 148 Registered: 2-2003 Posted on Friday, February 13, 2004 - 12:34 pm:    I agree w/ Adriaan. I'd vote for Stalin if he were up against Dubya..... all right, Mussolini then.

It was a reference to Seinfeld, as in "Mimbo" - male bimbo. I know, I should know better on a friday. Everyone is tired....... the_schwartz Member Username: the_schwartz Post Number: 58 Registered: 1-2003 Posted on Friday, February 13, 2004 - 9:39 pm:    So can we safely assume that, if elected, John Kerry would be the first bassist President? I can see the slogan now: Send a bass to the White House Joe alembic76407 Advanced Member Username: alembic76407 Post Number: 250 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Saturday, February 14, 2004 - 5:44 am:    So if Clinton blew (or got blown,sorry), will that make Kerry a funky president. pop and snap Kerry!!!! PS: VH1's reunite the band should go after Kerry's old band, I bet he already has a tour bus. 811952 Member Username: 811952 Post Number: 82 Registered: 10-2003 Posted on Monday, February 16, 2004 - 1:36 pm:    Mr. Bassident.
