Pete Townshend’s ancestor.

Wow; He’s Good.

Next time, on The Voice: Can rage and destruction make up for a lack of talent??

Axe murderer

Oh, it breaks my heart to see those stars/Smashing a perfectly good guitar/I don’t know who they think they are/Smashing a perfectly good guitar — John Hiatt (OK, I know it’s more like a banjo, but go with it.)

Okay – he’s got their attention. Can he do anything else (now that he doesn’t have an instrument)? Was that his closer?

We in the audience thank you and suggest you go back to your day job.

I hope he can sing…..

california accent Rock on dude

Now they’re havin’ a smashin’ good time!

So he listened to the critics and gave them what they wanted, huh?

Must be one of Pete Townsend’s ancestors…

That’s a bit thin-skinned for a street musician. He should better look for a desk job, paper doesn’t blush.

Channeling Pete Townsend are we?

Shall the King say Rack, Dungeon or Tower…

Violent is what it takes to get the attention…

Ah, Slash’s great grandfather.

Adds a little spiff.

John Hiatt was right.

Now if Liberace had done that with his piano….

He saw the cover of The Clash LP “London Calling”.

Looks like he smashed a banjo.

And set the banjo ablaze!!

Forget Pete Townsend… Hendrix is the gold standard. Beat the guitar. Put some lighter fluid on it. Strike a match. Blazing guitar.
