that Bo sometimes called it The Twang Machine, which is awesome.
He was a hardcore electronics hobbyist and built all sorts of custom wacky pickups and shit for his guitars.
The thing I love about Bo...well, there are about a dozen things I love about him, but
one
of the things I love about him is how he seemed to consciously pick every nerdy thing to make it cool. Like, he wore big black glasses, dressed in plaid and made a rectangular guitar. Other guys were shot for their album covers leaning on fancy cars. Bo was on a little scooter (before they were cool).
Also, he had a kickass female guitarist in his band, The Duchess.
Also, the lineup in his band was: Bo on guitar, The Duchess on guitar, a drummer and Jerome on maracas. Now that's a pretty cool core group. No bass, no keyboard, no sax.

He played the violin on a rock n roll record.
I saw him at a club in Allston, MA close to 20 years ago (at this point) and he was awesome.
Unrelatedly, there was a funny CSI Caruso moment on last week's Burn Notice.
Two, even. Which I thought was weird, since how does that work with the fourth wall? Was Sam doing an impression of a TV character during a job?
Yeah, overthinking it. I just found it jarring in the Burn Notice universe.

"Looks like murder... is in style this season."
"It looks like our killers' plan... is coming apart at the seams."

It struck me as odd too, and threw me out of the scene.
They did it much better on SPN.
SPN was breathtakingly hilarious. And they beat that mother into the ground with so much well-deserved contempt.
I think it's funny to think about characters on TV shows watching other TV shows.
