Last week the classic schlock rode into town on nothing but spandex and a dream, selling out a night at Irving Plaza for the 2007 US Air Guitar Championships. It was an event not to be taken lightly; jurors this year numbered bestselling author Malcolm Gladwell and for the third year, Jason Jones, the dude from the Daily Show who might be related to David Hasselhoff. This guy didn't win:
In the end, they were all winners, see? Those bad asses in the front aren't even pretending to hold guitars. I'm pretty sure this is just called flailing your arms around. At least they're pissing their pants with joy.
And finally, a year old clip of the 2007 Air Guitar National Champion, William Ocean, who foregoes the traditional air guitar for a giant air cock.
Ocean, a New Yorker, will be representing our great nation at the Air Guitar World Championships in Oulu, Finland from September 5-7.
