Alex Bogusky is THE GOD OF ALL ADVERTISING, DIETING GURU EXTRAORDINAIRE and now he's THE ULTIMATE GUITAR GOD!!!
So apparently he's so angry that Guitar Hero and Rockband have kept kids from actually learning to play the guitar that he's going to start helping people "shred". The good thing is that he isn't doing the lessons himself because he's really not that good (or maybe he is...I couldn't really listen to his playing because I couldn't get over the fact that he's wearing black nail polish, does an impression of Billie Joe Armstrong and then all of the sudden there's a weird man-love thing going on). Instead it's a collection of videos from actual agency employees as well as tutorials on YouTube (or according to Wholly Guacamole: U TUBE).
Just to go on the record, I don't hate CP+B. I think the agency has done some great campaigns (Subservient Chicken)...I just have a severe dislike for Alex Bogusky. I don't know why...it might be that the people running my school have to mention his name at least once in every conversation, that he's easily taking at least a third of my tuition despite never even coming to speak at the school with his name on it (I guess he can't take a few hours out of his schedule every few months or whenever else he's in Miami to drive the twenty minutes from Coconut Grove to Miami Beach and shine his genius upon us) or that because of him I'm at an advertising school that has no printers. Oh well, I'll take solace in the fact that it's a new year and there's a chance things will get better. Here's to hoping some things never change, though.
P.S. J-Fran, if you read this I hope you don't hate me now.
