Silly idea Im sure. I wonder what the success rate in this posh Caribbean resort rehab is compared to the rehab centers in say downtown Newark or Oakland? You know, the ones that have to get by on a pissant pitiful budget? Are the local Antiguans welcome there? Or is it just for rich folks? Does anyone actually know? Has anyone actually seen this place? Does it even exist? With all the money raised for it it should be the biggest building in the Caribbean.

on 02/25/2011 		Furthermore: Remember the "Cash For Clunkers" government program to stimulate union workers auto sales? Well this guitar auction should be called "Cash For Drunkerds"?
Yes, I like that!
