TAG on the Simpsons

[CJW]

The Simpsons syndicated re-run tonight was the one where Homer moves in with the two gay guys and Marge has to enlist Weird Al Yankovic's help in getting him back. Jim West, Al's guitar player, is shown, and I noticed on the headstock of his guitar was a small Anderson "A". Small, but obvious if you're looking for it.

Very cool.

Cool! Gotta love accuracy and realism on the Simpsons of all places! :D

When I first saw that episode my eyes popped out of my head, I laughed for the rest of the show!

that was a very special moment for me. i've always enjoyed the show, and when they put the "O" on james taylor's olson, i'd have to admit i was a bit jealous. jim is my hero, so it is quite fitting that he get such a lofty honor first.

Anyone know if any of the animators on the Simpsons are guitar players, or was the "Anderson A" just mere luck?

How about a visual aid...

Not mere luck - not only is the "A" there, but the headstock shape is in the Anderson camp.

For myself alone and with tone and oneness, Mike.
