as one gets older, one has a tendency to lose touch with the quirkiness of an age/era/generation. ergo: i'm not sure i realized the seriousness of the air guitar phenomenon.
did you know we have a 2006 u.s. champion? (this is not a venue whereupon one dresses to the nines.) i had watched him first so maybe that tainted my judgement -- when i went to youtube i was unimpressed by almost everyone else.
the 2006 world champion (competition was in finland in september) was from japan and after watching his performance i was mystified as to why he was better than our guy. i mean, yes, it was a really up-tempo piece, but.....
finally, after looking at quite a few videos, i decided this one was my favorite.
