$316 A DAY?!?? For one kid?!?! Oh, yes, they must be fed organic veggies and meat, and surely must be provided with the latest 'electronic gadgets.'

When is the last time YOU received/spent $316/PER DAY for YOUR kid?

The lessons probably cost $55, the rest is red tape...

I run a program called Guitars Not Guns and it is free.

Maybe I am missing the boat?


In all seriousness, pretty great program. Sponsored by Gibson Guitars and we give at-risk youth a chance to escape their enivronment and empower themselves through music.

Isn't Gibson the unscrupulous company that Obama and the FBI had to raid for using illegal wood a few years back? Those people are bastards and deserved to be shut down. Gibson does not care about wood or at-risk youth. Only profits.

Great program, but I bet you did not receive an invitation from the feds to bid for this service to 'unaccompanied minors.'

You're essentially running a jail. Security and 24/7 guards don't come cheap.

Same thing Burl Cain does at Angola. They grow their own food using inmate labor.

I can teach you to play guitar for 300 a day, and it will only take a few hours of your time(each day).

I don't suppose there is a program out there where I can get paid $316 a day to teach under privileged youths how to sit around on the weekend and watch football is there? I firmly believe I am fully qualified for the task.

I wonder if my son is eligible for this? I'm about ready to smash the damn thing against the fireplace with his Youtube videos trying to learn to play.
