gretsch
A name brand of a producer of musical instruments, more widely know for their guitars and their respective sound. Musicians can easily distinguish between a Gretsch guitar and a lesser-quality instrument, and has been that way ever since the company was founded over 100 years ago by Friedrich Gretsch. Friedrich moved to America from Mannheim, Germany, where he set up shop in 1883 in Brooklyn, where the Gretsch sound was born.
While Gretsch guitars were selling well enough, the company's brand name gained recognition when George Harrison of the Beatleswas seen on TV playing his Country Gentleman.
The list of guitar greats who have played a Gretsch electric guitar is long and well, long. Many of which have teamed up with Gretsch to design their own models. Such as the Gretsch Billy-Bo model for example. This take on the classic Gretsch "Jupiter Thunderbird" was designed with the help of Billy Gibbons from ZZ Top and Bo Diddley. It looks like a vintage Gretsch guitar, but is new to the 2005 lineup.

Surf Dracula Syndrome
A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.
For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.

I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
