'Air guitar got me laid - twice'

Play those funky airlicks: air guitarist Dan "Björn Türoque" Crane
What's your favourite piece of technology?
I consider the air guitar to be the ne plus ultra of both high and low tech, and thus find myself subservient to its power.
How has it improved your life?
Air guitar liberated me from my day job, scored me a book deal, made me a movie star, sent me gallivanting around the world, and got me laid — twice.
When was the last time you used it, and what for?
I used it this morning to get my rock off.
What additional features would you add if you could?
That's the beauty of air guitar — I can add whatever features I want. Frequently, I find myself adding multiple necks or whammy bars. On occasion, I've been known to add a beverage holder.
Do you think it will be obsolete in 10 years' time?
If rock'n'roll and/or humanity becomes obsolete, thus the fate of air guitar shall be; however, I will note that air guitar is 100% environmentally friendly and in no way contributes towards global warming.
What one tip would you give to non-air guitar users?
Make air, not war.
Do you consider yourself to be a luddite or a nerd?
I play air guitar for a living — what do you think?
What's the most expensive piece of technology you've ever owned?
Jimmy Page's double-necked Gibson Les Paul air guitar (purchased on eBay for an embarrassing sum).
PC or Mac?
Mac. Simply put, Macs are sexier, more rocking machines. And Björn Türoque is all about the sexy and the more rocking. Plus, Air Guitar Nation was edited on a Mac, and I do all my air guitar song edits using Apple's Garageband—the greatest amateur music software ever made.
What song is at the top of your iPod's top 25 most played?
Ace of Spades, by Motörhead. Lemmy rules.
Will robots rule the world?
Have you heard a speech by my nation's president? Robots already rule the world. Humans can't possibly be that stupid.
What piece of technology would you most like to own?
An air purifier. The air quality in major cities these days is horrendous and has had a deleterious effect on my mojo. Air pollution also slows down my windmilling.

Mirror.co.uk
While quite possibly the stupidest thing you’ve ever seen in your life, this documentary exploring the world of air guitar enthusiasts is a riot from start to finish.
We follow two Americans as they attempt to land a place in the World Air Guitar Championships – a contest that involves people clutching imaginary fretboards while whirling around like lunatics.
In the red corner is David ‘C-Diddy’ Jung, a likeable Korean who can spank his invisible plank with the best of them, while his principle rival is Dan ‘Bjorn Turoque’ Crane. The other contestants range from the goofily hilarious to the faintly disturbed.
Air guitar may sound like something to be done in the privacy of your own home, but think again, for this fun flick delivers more laughs than most comedies. Prepare your horned salute and get ready to rawk!

I'll bet they look good. Any type of celebrity attracts beautiful women. Politicians, gangsters, scam ministers, Rock n Roll Stars, cult leaders, actors, wwf wrestlers, they get their pick of the litter. |

I have a friend named "Jesús" (a very common name, in México; we call them - people named "Jesus" - , bit by bit: "Chucho") who always signs his letters as "Jesus".
One person (not from México) got REALLY upset; how could a mere mortal be named after the son of GOD?
Fortunately, that mere person died. |
