Lucille! Sorry. I should have remembered it was the name of Bo Diddley's guitar.
None of it means a damn thing.

B.B. King. Because it's Theo's fate to be corrected today, apparently.

Somedays it's just not worth it to chew through the restraints.
Some googling and wikiing has now gifted me with the knowledge that Bo sometimes called it The Twang Machine, which is awesome.

He was a hardcore electronics hobbyist and built all sorts of custom wacky pickups and shit for his guitars.
The thing I love about Bo...well, there are about a dozen things I love about him, but one of the things I love about him is how he seemed to consciously pick every nerdy thing to make it cool. Like, he wore big black glasses, dressed in plaid and made a rectangular guitar. Other guys were shot for their album covers leaning on fancy cars. Bo was on a little scooter (before they were cool).
Also, he had a kickass female guitarist in his band, The Duchess.
Also, the lineup in his band was: Bo on guitar, The Duchess on guitar, a drummer and Jerome on maracas. Now that's a pretty cool core group. No bass, no keyboard, no sax.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

He played the violin on a rock n roll record.

I saw him at a club in Allston, MA close to 20 years ago (at this point) and he was awesome.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Unrelatedly, there was a funny CSI Caruso moment on last week's Burn Notice.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Two, even. Which I thought was weird, since how does that work with the fourth wall? Was Sam doing an impression of a TV character during a job?
Yeah, overthinking it. I just found it jarring in the Burn Notice universe.
