`Are you honestly suggesting that Jimmy Page was the first person to use
`an electric guitar or that nobody before jimmy page used it in the same
`way? While I might accept the second, your view of history in music is
`as biased and skewed as your view of paleoanthropology.
I may be reading this wrong, but I believe he bought the included
fallacy that Page invented the electric guitar. This would be
a classic example of being hooked by an unintentional troll.
(I just wonder what he thinks Chuck Berry was playing -
no point in mentioning Les Paul or Charlie Christian).
