When the layman thinks of electric guitars, he usually remembers the Fender Stratocaster or perhaps the Gibson Les Paul. Why doesn't anyone recall the Solo II, or this Soviet double-neck bass/electric, or this hot-rodded Ural electric, or the Czech Jolana Diamant electric bass, or whatever the hell this handmade thingmabob is? Well, usually because they were hideous pieces of crap that went out of tune quickly, sounded awful, and fell apart under light use. Some, however, were keepers, like the Czech Futurama. Largely, they were just plain cheap and cheesy guitars , which naturally makes them appealing to collectors, like Lord Bizarre. By the way, some luthiers consider it a challenge to turn a weird and cheesy guitar into a good one.

Over 2,200 years ago, Greek playwright Aristophanes wrote a comedy titled Lysistrata, which told the story of women from warring states who ended the Peloponnesian War. How did they do it, you ask? Until the men stopped fighting and sheathed their swords, the women wouldn't, uh, "sheathe their swords," if you know what I mean. On March 3, the Lysistrata Project will mount (at the time of this posting) 581 readings of Lysistrata in 38 countries in protest of the potential War in Iraq, and with the hope of catching the ear of those who believe, "Democracy is a beautiful thing."
