Speaking of free spirits, we watched a documentary yesterday about air guitar. Apparently, they have a contest each year on the east coast and west coast to crown an air guitar champion for the entire US. That person then gets to go to the world competition in Finland - where they take air guitar very seriously :) The movie was quite entertaining since not a one of these contestants use an instrument whatsoever. They just air guitar and wear goofy costumes (except for one guy coming out in his birthday suit - and guess what he used as one of his props?)while getting judged on technicality, charisma, precision and other obscure things. It makes me wonder what a real guitar competition gets judged on? Now I think Brian has dismissed the movie for obvious reasons - but I was entertained by the idea of someone being a rock star without playing an instrument. In fact, one of the contestants in the movie, Bjorn Turoc abandoned his real guitar band to participate in an air guitar competition. When he was interviewed, he just felt like he had more opportunities to succeed in air guitar than in a real band. I suppose so - since you are the only one up there performing on stage. Anyway, the movie's finale came when the first ever US contestant C-diddy won the world competition doing a Yngwie Malmsteen song with great technicality and precision - I guess? I haven't seen the song done by the original guitarist, but something tells me it was way more technical on real guitar. Hee Hee. But props to C-diddy he is now in the annals of fame and is an aspiring actor to boot - look for him on Law and Order SVU strutting his 'killer' air guitar skills...
