Smashing!

Smashing!
Yesterday we caught news that the cheesy Hard Rock CafĂ© is moving into Times Square (how appropriate.) It turns out today’s opening was celebrated with the World’s Largest Guitar Smash – here’s the full scoop from PR Newswire. our friend Karen stopped by to catch the show and sent us these fun photos…

Producer’s nightmare, a fender bender in front 5 min before the show. Little Steven arrives with some of the guitars in a Brinks Truck.

Get ready to smash… (that’s Brian Wilson dead center with the guitar looking befudled. and is that the Naked Cowboy to the left? oy vey)

SMASH! (maybe donating a bunch of guitars to local schools would have been a better promo)

are the bricks for the old guys so they don’t have to bend to the ground? that’s so rock and roll. (thanks Karen!)
