Guitare Sèche Le Mag numéro 59

Time goes by, spleen stays

Time is a hell of a thing, no matter how much we are told that the latest advances in quantum physics tend to prove that time has no tangible reality, we get it in the face regularly, whether it's the aging of our loved ones, the 50th anniversary of "Harvest" or the eternal return of winter, the end of year celebrations and the resolutions for the next one.
Rather than rolling on the floor and asking for this to go by more slowly, we have chosen to celebrate all this by concocting for you a huge file relating, title by title, the genesis of what will remain as one of the greatest folk albums of all times, made by a Neil Young who could have stopped at "After the Gold Rush" and still enter the Hall of Fame. It is probable that he was not aware of what he was doing, otherwise he probably wouldn't have done it, so let's reassure ourselves that we are not at this level of genius.
The passing of time is also the return of the Issoudun Guitar Festival, where we went and met some of you who didn't hesitate to show us their attachment to the magazine. We thank them for that. For those who couldn't be there, you will find six pages of reports.
Since you will have to give ideas for gifts to your family, or find a way to spend your New Year's gift when January comes, several options are available to you: the album reviews section, with half a dozen new releases, the test section with four exceptional but slightly offbeat guitars, so as not to do anything like the others, or a purchase file capped at 600 € to find something out of the ordinary for less.
If you still haven't found what you're looking for, think about subscribing to your favorite magazine, because in addition to several months of reading, scores, tests and interviews, you'll also receive the gifts that are reserved for you and will contribute to strengthening the independent press in a world where everything certainly goes too fast. A little slow media can't hurt. It doesn't slow down time, but it makes it pass more pleasantly. Because really, sometimes, we would like it to stop, just a little.
Very nice end of year holidays to all of you, and see you next year!
