Mar 22, 2022 · The sad future that awaits you. A blues lawyer is guitar slang for high-income hobby guitarists who buy expensive guitars, amps and accessories, and then play the same old blues and classic rock they’ve been playing for the last 30 years without improvement. It’s like the musician version of “ok boomer”.

Some say that blues lawyers are bad for working musicians because they pay crazy amounts of money for every more elaborate versions of workhorse guitars, such as the Gibson Les Paul or the Fender Stratocaster. So the argument goes, Gibson then ends up chasing this market by raising the price on their newer models to make them appear more exclusive than last year’s models, which has the effect of pricing guitars out of the hands of working musicians.
At a show the night before Free broke up, Paul Kossoff threw his 1959 Gibson Les Paul into the air and let it fall to the stage, breaking it’s neck.
However, when Blues Lawyer was a kid, they played all those crappy Sears Catalog guitars and dreamed of the day they could have a shiny Gibson Les Paul Custom to call their own.
At a show the night before Free broke up, Paul Kossoff threw his 1959 Gibson Les Paul into the air and let it fall to the stage, breaking it’s neck. Backstage, he saw a goldtop he liked the look of and made the trade.
However, some say that the blues lawyer is a good thing for the industry, because they pump money into the industry which can then be used to produce more high quality guitars for less money. Why do blues lawyers even exist? Cheap guitars are good now.
Well, not quite. For one, he’s not a lawyer (can you be a blues roofing contactor?), and for another, he’s not some rich dude buying expensive guitars with his crazy salary. Blakely has been finding, buying and selling guitars for decades. When it came time to put down the money for the Kossoff Burst, he literally had a dealer friend come and “fill up the van” with guitars from his collection to cover the tab.
2. The nature of the attorney-client relationship. A lawyer’s responsibility is to take on other people’s problems and find solutions. It’s a challenging and intellectual pursuit, but it’s also a stressful one.
Most legal work is reading, researching, drafting documents, reviewing other documents, and occasional communication with one’s opponent. For some lawyers, that’s all the work they do, but in any event, the ratio of work to “action” is very high. 5.
1. The work. Most attorneys work about six days a week, generally fifty plus hours per week, and the norm now is to be available anywhere at any time. It is not uncommon during extreme times (trial, an important deal closing, etc.) for those hours to increase substantially and days off to become elusive. I’ve had stretches in my career ...
The adversarial nature of most legal work, in particular, litigation and criminal law. Many lawyers live lives of constant conflict, since their opponents are just as interested in winning their cases as they are. Some people (like me) love this, but others find this life to be incredibly stressful. 4.
Some clients’ problems cannot be solved, but merely managed. Some clients are unappreciative of the work they receive, even when they win. Almost no one is pleased with the costs, even when cases are staffed and run efficiently. And once in a while, clients will try to skip out on bills. Advertisement.
Then there is the career itself. The public perception is often that lawyers are rich and powerful, but reality can be grim for some attorneys.

Andy Benjamin of the University of Washington conducted a study of law students that estimated 40% suffered from depression by the time they graduated. After law school comes the high stress process of admission to the bar, when Lukasik said lawyers fear reporting treatment for any type of depression or mental illness because they risk not meeting the “character and fitness” requirements. “They could shut down their career,” he said. Most state bars make subjective decisions as to whether mental illness or depression, treated or untreated, are barriers to a candidate’s certification to practice law.

Delta Force and DEVGRU are known to have sent previous members to SAD. Former DEVGRU member Matt Bissonnette. Image: Wikimedia.org. It makes sense since both special ops units are considered the best of the best in the U.S. Military, so naturally, the CIA is going to target those individuals.

Caesar is the only person in the world who knows how to manufacture SAD. As such, SAD is very valuable, so much so that Donquixote Doflamingo instantly figured out Law's intentions regarding the SAD storage room, being aware that its destruction would have been disastrous to his underworld empire.
SAD is a particularly unique substance and it is one of the few things needed to create SMILEs, which are artificial Zoan Devil Fruits.

The substance itself is a mix of Lineage Factors from a wide variety of animals, and when the SAD is transmitted into fruits to create SMILEs, the Lineage Factor is intended to alter the user's body and give them the characteristics of a specific type of animal.

SAD is a substance produced in a lab within Punk Hazard, the SAD Production Room, and kept within a huge metal vat. It was first alluded to in a conversation by Vergo, before being revealed to be Trafalgar Law 's true objective on Punk Hazard.

He eventually succeeded amidst the chaos in the research facility, but Vergo contacted Doflamingo and reported it.
SAD is similar to the Joker Venom from DC Comics, as both were created by someone with the moniker of "Joker" ( Joker and Doflamingo) and cause a permanent grin with its victims.
