Synopsis
This work talks about the second greatest guitarist never heard. The true story of how mildly successful guitarist and "New York Times" writer Dan Crane relinquished his instrument and became Bjorn Turoque (pronounced "b-yorn too-RAWK"), the second greatest air guitarist in the nation. This exploration of the international air guitar sub-culture addresses the issue of dedicating oneself to an invisible art in order to achieve the ultimate goal of 'airness' - that is, when air guitar transcends the 'real' art that it imitates and becomes an art form in and of itself.
About the Author
Dan "Björn Türoque" Crane has been playing competitive air guitar for over two years. He has also written for Slate, The Los Angeles Times, and The New York Times.
