Hard Rock Cafe - Ambassadors Of Rock
Turning 35 never felt so good. Hard Rock declared rock diplomacy on the world with the announcement of the Ambassadors of Rock Tour. The tour spans nine cities and five countries spreading the universal language of rock. Legends Roger Waters and The Who get things started July 1st and 2nd at London's Hyde Park Calling Festival. In addition to the musical performances, the festival will have an on-site Hard Rock Cafe, market area, performance art, healing area and a "chill out" zone.
It's fitting that Pete Townshend and The Who are a major focal point of Hard Rock's 35th anniversary, as Townshend is part of Hard Rock lore. In the early 70s, the guitarist and frequent guest of Hard Rock Cafe London saw that Eric Clapton had hung his guitar to mark his favorite bar stool. A week later, Townshend sent his guitar to Hard Rock's owner Isaac Tigrett with a note saying, "Mine's as good as his, Pete." The second guitar was placed on the wall next to Clapton's and Hard Rock's iconic memorabilia collection was born. The original Clapton and Townshend guitars are currently hung where they belong - above the bar at Hard Rock Cafe London. And, the priceless collection, which started with two guitars, now claims more than 65,000 pieces of music history.
The announcement of London's show is just the tip of the iceberg. The Ambassadors of Rock Tour includes shows featuring top artists in Singapore, Tokyo, Osaka, New York, Chicago, Hollywood (Fla.), Orlando and Caracas. As always, philanthropy will play a huge role in this rock initiative. Each Ambassadors of Rock event will benefit a local charity, with the London stop benefiting the Nordoff-Robbins Foundation.
The celebration doesn't end there. One lucky rocker will have the chance to live the life of a rock star, traveling the world to Hard Rock's Ambassadors of Rock concerts! Two runners up will travel to London for the kick off of the Ambassadors of Rock Tour. You can enter the sweepstakes for your chance to win at www.ambassadorsofrock.com

It would be nice to win, if I don't get the trip, perhaps a nice parting prize, like a case or turtle wax. Either way, I still registered for the trip. :} |
