the 2013 champion air-guitar player comes from 30 miles away from me. See Eric Melin, of Lawrence, Kansas, in Finland:

Mean Melin

Wild gyrations, brutal music, thunderous air guitar, but when the announcer says hello, he's not really mean at all.

I think it kinda tells you something when the world championship is on a steet in Finland.

Guess I won't take up playing that way, though.
