Universal Guitar Face

Universal Guitar Face.....

My first truly “japanese moment” just occurred. The type of moment where you undoubtedly feel like your living in another country. 700 high school students and I packed a concert hall to be entertained by a true Japanese icon...Teddy and the Blue Jeans, yep that is really the name of the band. They looked like a japanese version of the beach boys, with their matching Hawaiian shirts, white khaki s, and advanced age. It was ridiculously funny to watch these middle aged men jam out on their guitars, keyboards, and drums. I think the keyboardist in any band is such an awkward part of the band. You can not look cool playing a keyboard, even Vince Neil could not pull of that feat. Plus when the guy looks like an Asian dentist it is even more hilarious. In fact their were two keyboardist, the dentist and the a guy who looked like Journey’s new singer. I couldn’t understand a word they were saying, but I was nonetheless entertained.

Midway through their “set” an attractive much younger Japanese female made a guest appearance to sing with the Blue Jeans, the students went bananas.... I asked the nearby students who she was? They had no idea, I think they were just glad to have some energy pumped into this show. Towards the end of the show Teddy and his mates went nuts, in typical concert fashion, Teddy allowed each of his musicians to “jam” to show off their skills and delight the crowd. Well Japanese guitar face is hysterically funny. This guitarist looked like an asian version of Stuey from Family guy, and he is rocking out on his guitar, wearing his Hawaiian and stone wash pants! I think there should be a website called universal guitarface.com and it should have photos of peoples faces while playing the guitar, i find them to be quite comical.

I got to give Teddy credit, he could put on a show. For a sixty five year old man to keep 700 high schoolers entertained for two hours is no small feet...
