ellen cherry video blog #huh (i'm tired of numbering them)

Dear friends, i wanted to rant against Guitar Hero. I'm glad it's getting people active, but c'mon man. This is worse than that Clairol red-hair dye ad a couple years ago where the 'cellist was bowing with her left hand and on the fingerboard with her right. no one has ever played the 'cello like that in the history of 'cello-playing.

ANYWAY...this ad shows the female guitarist "playing" a right handed guitar, left handed. i know there're real issues in the world going on (Iraq, Iran, who else can we make war against besides the environment?) but hey, sometimes, you just have to get angry on things that (not really) affect your direct environment.

oh, how i wish the explanation were so. i thought of this too--thus the "homage" to Hendrix. alas, she's not dressed anything like him.

it was disappointing. why don't kaki king or bonnie raitt license their images to this game? that would rock. or that other girl that you directed me to on a video a couple months ago.

how are ya? seems you haven't posted in a bit.
