Superfly – the folks who put on Outside Lands and Bonnaroo, to name a couple of their fests – asked USAG Legend and skee-ball wizard William Ocean to introduce headliners My Morning Jacket this year. To quote Ocean of the promotional shoot that took place in Brooklyn loft, “Arty Bajardi was not pleased about my impromptu beer spray that unfortunately landed on our coffee table and couch.” Continuing on, “it’s basically me, in the final shot, wearing her robe and suckin’ on a fudge sickle.”

FROM THE OFFICE OF THE CO-COMMISSIONERSHIP

“We begin our 10th year of competitive air guitar not proud but humbled. For this milestone—this ascension of our sport to its rightful position in the pantheon of human endeavors—is not our achievement, and is not our solemn distinction. It is yours. The staggering success of the US Air Guitar Championships belongs to the grizzled veterans of the Regional circuit. To the moral absolutists that judge with unimpeachable acumen. And to the slack-jawed fans, struck dumb by another glimpse of that elusive sublime which we call ‘airness.’ Thank you.”
