The guitar off to the side thing is funny. I think alot of the young folks saw people like johnny Cash and Bill Monroe do it on occasion. Johnny and Bill were doing because they didn't have thier guitars plugged in, and were using one mic for both the vocal and guitar. When you want some extra volume, you turn the guitar up and lift it a little to get it closer to the mic. It's great to think that some of these guys may have stolen it just to "look cool".

Maybe I'll poke my eyes out so I can play like Doc Watson....
