About A month ago I was shopping at my local Walmart with the woman and I saw a TV set up with Guitar Hero in the electronics section.  Being an experienced guitarist I assumed I might be good at this game... I was wrong.  I started off on the easy level playing the Rolling Stones "Paint it Black."  I made it about 30 seconds into the song when a 12 year old stepped out of the shadows and said, "It doesn't look like you're trying to hard."  He then asked for the guitar and said, "Let me show you how it's done."  He proceeded to rock out.  In a bizarre attempt to save my dignity and man hood I began to call him names as I walked away.

This little story leads me to this conclusion: Guitar Hero will lead to the fall of society!  And I'm not saying this just because I got my ass handed to me by a 12 year old.

When I was a little kid I wanted to be a pilot, due in part to my favorite cartoon; "TaleSpin."

  My dreams were shattered when I found out I was terrified of heights and that bears couldn't fly planes and be my co-pilots.

So who is going to shatter the dreams of the millions and millions of children, who now thanks to Guitar Hero want to be Rock Stars?  I for one will volunteer.  Fifteen years from now we'll be stuck with an ungodly amount of young men and women living out of there cars looking for their big break to be the next Legend of Rock or Hannah Montana.  Someone needs to let them know that the world needs ditch diggers and doctors and that your dad isn't Billy Ray Cirrus so it aint gonna happen!  There is no this:

  Only this: 

A roommate named Jim who eats all your Easy Mac and uses your tooth brush when you're sleeping.

I speak from experience, I too wanted to be a Rock Star my band made it as far as signing with a production company/Label that had us opening for terrible 80's metal bands and running errands for a guy named Paul who was more interested in drugs and beef jerky than the shows he was lining up.  He looked like this:

   If you've made it this far into this rant I apologize I'm so full of it it's coming out of my ears.  How about those Reds?
