Yesterday, the cast, crew, and audience of the 80’s cheese-rock Broadway musical extravaganza Rock of Ages broke the world record for ‘Largest Ensemble Air Guitar Performance.’ They miraculously SHATTERED the previous world record of 440 people by getting a mind-blowing 810 people to play air guitar along to– yes, you guessed it, Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believing.” This is huge, people. This is bigger than Michael Phelps winning eight gold medals huge [Note: No it isn't]. This is bigger than Steve Wiebe breaking Billy Mitchell’s Donkey Kong high score [Note: It DEFINITELY isn't].

Although, not to be a stickler for the rules, but looking at this picture it seems like some of these people weren’t so much doing air guitar as they were doing that awkward old person back and forth arm dance that relatives always do at weddings. I’d hate for the sanctity of the air guitar record books be marred and we enter the oft-debated “asterisk era.”

Either way, I’m inspired to break another world record. What do you say we round up enough people to hold the record for ‘Largest Group Giving the Finger to the Cast of Rock of Ages’? Cool, see everyone outside the theater tomorrow at noon. Bring your middle finger.
