Well, it had to happen. NOTE: The Voice credits someone named “David Camp” for the illustration of Kurtis Blow. The illustration is in fact by Ross MacDonald. There is no one involved in The Rock Snob*s Dictionary named David Camp-with-a-C. Though “David Camp” would’ve made a good name for a sub-Jobriath glamster. April 20, 2005 More Rock Snobbery »

Dobro. Brand name for a family of hollow-bodied, heavily ornamented resonator guitars developed in California in the 1920s. Long beloved by country, blues, and bluegrass players for their metallic, extra-twangy sound and gorgeous circular cover plates, Dobros are increasingly valued by rock-country hybridists like Wilco, Ryan Adams, and Lucinda Williams, especially the square-necked models, which afford a musician the priceless roots-sensitive visual opportunity to play a guitar horizontally in one’s lap.
