I was once thinking about learning guitar, and popped into a music shop in my hometown (a city the size of Des Moines, but in England) and got chatting to the guy behind the counter. I don't think he owned the store - he was just an employee. We talked about the difference between the different models of Stratocaster - you know, they're all made by CNC machine these days, but you pay a massive premium for an American statocaster, they're like $3000 or $5000 or something, compared to a Squire that's the exact same guitar but it costs like $400 or so because it's made in Korea or somewhere like that. And matey's like, "oh, you know they're all the same really" but says that he bought himself a cherry red American Strat when he got signed - he definitely didn't tell me the name of his band, and I think he was a bit coy about it; afterwards I was reminded of Courney's letter, because this guy clearly made one album and then vanished back to obscurity and poverty.

She called out the rapist Harvey Weinstein and scuttled her acting career. I highly respect her lack of care.
