    Holy shit dude! :shock: That is awesome!! :D

    To spend the $600 dollars donated from Ed for the 8-Track or frame up that note, pic & $600 dollars donated by Ed?
    :lol::lol::lol: I'd hope he went out and got the 8-track Ed told him to. Imagine if Ed gets wind of the famed note, pick and $$$, he'd be so disgusted he may never make a gesture like that again! I guess he could still frame the note and pick :mrgreen:

    Least use the $599 on the 8-Track and save a $1 bill & frame that up along with the pics and note. :P

    I dig the "conqueror" watermark on the paper....fucking sweeeet....
    Do you know how expensive that paper is????
    It's an acid free stay-type, ink resolute typing
    paper. One sheaf ( 1000 ) sheets of the Rembrandt
    style that he's apparently using there costs like 95
    dollars!!! Damn that man just had class all around!!
    By the way, the life span of said paper is over 100 years!!
    Oh yeah conqueror is the second highest rated typing
    paper in the world, has been around since the great
    depression, and is used as the letterhead stationary
    for our president! Whew! That was a long Google!

  • See now that's the kind of shit I would think all of the guys in PJ do all the time. Give Back and pay it forward. " And he still gives his love he just gives it away, the love he recieves is the love that is saved."

    Thanks for sharing this story, Emma. :)

    What a classy man. I´m proud to be a fan of him. Seems like he has never forgotten what it´s like to be young, and poor, with a lot of creative dreams.

    what a great human being.

    he has inspired me to do some of the same things with less fortunate kids at my school...of course, i have a limited budget so it is on a much smaller scale, but a ten dollar gift card to McDonald's can make a kid's day, or even month!

    What a great example he is of being kind and so thoughtful. He didn't even know this guy yet he went out of his way to make somebody else's day. This is why I love Ed!

    This is such an important point: it doesn't take being kindhearted AND rich to do amazing things for people in need. There are opportunities all the time for totally regular folks (even folks he hardly have anything) to do kind, thoughtful things for others. It just takes time and noticing/looking for opportunities to help.

    I realize a guy trying to get a record contract - that's not really "a person in need", but doing kind things is awesome no matter what. But it makes me sad when people say they can't or don't help others (especially people truly in need) because "they don't have enough money" or they are too busy.

    Opportunities to do kind things occur or can be created daily. Thanks for telling this nice story and Hopper, thanks for being inspired by stories like that to do what you can do!

    A musician in NYC actually probably is truly a person in need! :lol: ... I think Ed just really understands that for young musicians trying to make careers of it can be stopped from doing so just because they can`t scape up the money for some basic but dire equipment. He knows that some potentially great musical careers (and therefore great music) have been lost just because people with real talent had to choose between paying rent or eating and having an 8-track recorder or a decent amp, which could possibly be the thing that makes the difference between a musical career and never getting that far. It`s nice to know that Ed`s not forgotten what it was like.

    Actually PJ Soul, when you frame it in terms of the needs & priorities of a struggling musician that way, it makes it almost certain that this guy went out and bought a $10.00 digital voice recorder... and spent the other $590.00 on weed. I'm almost positive. ;)

    Not even facetious, just straight joking. :D Although, I gotta say, I'm not sure Ed would really blame him, given how prominently weed figures in his public stories about his early days on the road to being a rocker... :lol:
