Fender sold as a present to Tony Blair
Hi,
Damnit, I wanted that guitar! :-)
---
Fender Stratocaster withdrawn from
Auction
The Fender Stratocaster has been
withdrawn. It has been purchased
for an
unspecified, but astronomical,
price by a
syndicate of buyers. David Bowie, Mick
Jagger and Pete Townshend have bought
the guitar and given it to Tony
Blair the
British Prime Minister. Tony Blair
is a
guitarist himself, and the three
rock stars
are hoping for Knighthoods and
think this
gift might help. The Prime Minister
is said to
be over the moon about his latest
acquisition, but is considering
whether he
can afford the insurance premium on
such
a valuable object when he has baby
on the
way and Ken Livingstone threatening to
rebuild the London Underground.

Why can Blair just do as we all do, and bid on it??? It's not fair!!! It's
not fair!!!
And what is this? Rock stars giving away gifts to a prime minister??? OK,
he's Labour, but, duuuhh...
:-)
I hope it gets a place next to the crown jewels...
Cheers,
