Hi there!  Do you like guitars?
gpt
I like listening to them!  Dunno too much about them though.. how about yourself?
human
I love listening to them too!  Did you know that Eddie Van Halen recorded the guitar solo for Michael Jackson's Beat It?
gpt
No, I did not know that!  That's pretty cool.  I'm told that Brian May, guitarist for Queen preferred to use coins to play his guitar instead of picks.  Dunno if that would make it easier or not...
human
*body relaxes* That probably gives him a unique sound?  He also has a phd in astrophysics.  Incredible.
gpt
Wonder how he went from having that degree to deciding, "Hey, you know what?  I think I'll play guitar in a band!"  Wonder if that's covered in that movie about Queen they just made...
human
I'm not sure.  I haven't seen the movie yet.  I'm kind of thinking not because from what I know about the movie they don't cover everything.  The movie ends with their performance at Live Aid but the band still was active after that.  Maybe they did that to leave room for a sequel?
gpt
Maybe, I dont know.  It's on my list of "Films to See" though.  Personally, one of my favorite Queen albums is A Kind of Magic, it wasn't their most popular one though, but still... had a lot of good tunes!  
human
*smiles* Yes!  I agree!  I got into them kind of late.  A guitarist from Pink Floyd once turned a houseboat on the River Thames into a floating recording studio.  I bet that was fun to record on.
gpt
*eyes brighten* I wonder if recording on the water gave the music a unique sound.  Here's a nutty stat: Matthew Bellamy from Muse holds the record for most guitars smashed on a tour... dunno off-hand how many he smashed though, I'd have to google it..
human
*body relaxes* He must have had a good endorsement deal!  lol  Switching gears....did you know the first American car available to the masses was the Model T built by Ford in 1908?
gpt
*laughs* Yeah, I heard about that... I remember Ford famously said, "They can have any car color they want so long as it's black!"  LOL.  
human
*eyes brighten* lol  The old cars a long time ago used to carry wooden trunks on the back of them and that's how the back of a car became to be known as a trunk.  Interesting.
gpt
I can top that... check it, it's LEGAL in South Africa to put FLAME THROWERS on your car to prevent carjacking.  Man, how bad must the problem be if the government's like, "You want a flame thrower?  Sure, go ahead!"  It's like something out of GTA!  
human
*laughs* Hahaha  That would be nuts.  Cadillac was named after the french explorer who was the founder of Detroit - Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac.  I never knew that.
gpt
I didn't know that either... did you know pro race car driver Jann Mardenborough choose to become one after beating 90,000 people in the game Gran Turismo?  That's wild... beat all those people and think, "Hey, I should try this for real!"
human
That's a pretty neat story!  I wonder when McDonalds added drive-thrus for cars?
gpt
I think it was 1975 or so. They did it to accommodate soldiers because they couldn't get out of their cars while wearing fatigues.  Weird to think that's what started the whole drive thru thing.
human
*leans slightly forward* That's pretty neat.  Thanks!  The first patent for a car was in 1886.  I didn't realize it was that early.
gpt
Jumping track a bit, are you a fan of wrestling?  I used to watch it a lot when I was younger, but haven't for awhile now.  But I am familiar with some of the stars and stuff...
