Well, dang yeah right!

Doesn't the Ion have blue LEDs under the keys?  Or is it under the 
wheels... yep it's the wheels.  If you really want to make an 
impression, just throw talent under the bus and turn on the flashies.  
Or, keep the talent and be a flashy butthole like Keith Emerson -- whom 
I saw this June with his Monster Modular Moog -- still jacking off a 
ribbon controller until it spews fireworks ---- 35 years later.  O so 
cool... there's nothing like raw musicianship and showmanship combined 
to give that *great taste : less filling* satisfaction.

*(Um, should I buy the cell phone with the Janet Jackson nipple ring 
style buttons?  I thought I was cool but this girl said the stitching on 
my phone case was gay and blue means you're looking for someone and I 
like this American Eagle polo but it doesn't have an alligator....)*

Everyone who has come into keyboards since the '90s should be forced to 
pay their dues for one night at a gig with a Farfisia or Conn organ and 
a Mini-Moog that you have to set all of the knobs again in between each 
song.  And a guitarist who can't sing and has a D string that goes out 
of tune 5 measures into each number.
